Integrity None (I:N)
Availability High (A:H)

How to Fix CVE-2026-90145

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-2026-90145, 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: hinic3: Fix skb linearization mismatch and drop skb when skb_checksum_help() failed Previously, hinic3_send_one_skb() cached the skb fragment count before calling hinic3_tx_offload(). If hinic3_tx_csum() falls back to skb_checksum_help() for unsupported tunnel packets, the skb may be linearized. Continuing to build the TX descriptor with the stale fragment count leads to a descriptor mismatch, which can trigger out-of-bounds DMA reads or IOMMU faults. Furthermore, the old code ignored the return value of skb_checksum_help(), transmitting corrupted packets with incomplete checksums upon failure. Fix this by: 1. Moving the hinic3_tx_offload() call before calculating 'num_sge' to ensure the correct fragment count is used if the SKB is linearized. 2. Propagating skb_checksum_help() errors and returning HINIC3_TX_OFFLOAD_INVALID to properly drop the skb.
