How to Fix CVE-2026-74625

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-74625, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path A bridge nftables ct zone set rule can attach a conntrack template to an skb before nf_ct_bridge_pre() sees it. For non-IPv4 and non-IPv6 EtherTypes, nf_ct_bridge_pre() currently overwrites skb->_nfct with IP_CT_UNTRACKED without releasing the existing template reference. That makes the per-cpu template, and any temporary templates allocated for concurrent use, unreachable and leaks memory until the host runs out of slab. Reset the skb conntrack state before marking the frame untracked so the existing template reference is dropped on the non-IP path.
