How to Fix CVE-2026-46255

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-2026-46255, 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: dmaengine: fsl-edma: don't explicitly disable clocks in .remove() The clocks in fsl_edma_engine::muxclk are allocated and enabled with devm_clk_get_enabled(), which automatically cleans these resources up, but these clocks are also manually disabled in fsl_edma_remove(). This causes warnings on driver removal for each clock: edma_module already disabled WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 418 at drivers/clk/clk.c:1200 clk_core_disable+0x198/0x1c8 [...] Call trace: clk_core_disable+0x198/0x1c8 (P) clk_disable+0x34/0x58 fsl_edma_remove+0x74/0xe8 [fsl_edma] [...] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- edma_module already unprepared WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 418 at drivers/clk/clk.c:1059 clk_core_unprepare+0x1f8/0x220 [...] Call trace: clk_core_unprepare+0x1f8/0x220 (P) clk_unprepare+0x34/0x58 fsl_edma_remove+0x7c/0xe8 [fsl_edma] [...] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Fix these warnings by removing the unnecessary fsl_disable_clocks() call in fsl_edma_remove().
