CVE-2026-68315: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2026-68315 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. this occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. when this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-68315 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-68315
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.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-68315, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze 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 CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound, where the product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. this occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. when this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: validate stream count in sctp_process_strreset_inreq()\n\nWhen processing a RESET_IN_REQUEST from a peer,\nsctp_process_strreset_inreq() derives the stream count from the\nparameter length but does not check whether the resulting\nRESET_OUT_REQUEST would exceed SCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN.\n\nThe OUT request header (sctp_strreset_outreq, 16 bytes) is 8 bytes\nlarger than the IN request header (sctp_strreset_inreq, 8 bytes).\nGenerally, the IP payload is bounded to 65535 bytes, so the stream\nlist cannot be large enough to trigger the overflow. However, on\ninterfaces with MTU > 65535 (e.g., loopback with IPv6 jumbograms), a\nstream list that fits within the incoming IN parameter can cause a\n__u16 overflow in sctp_make_strreset_req() when computing the OUT\nrequest size, leading to an undersized skb allocation and a kernel\nBUG:\n\n net/core/skbuff.c:207 skb_panic\n net/core/skbuff.c:2625 skb_put\n net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:1535 sctp_addto_chunk\n net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c:3695 sctp_make_strreset_req\n net/sctp/stream.c:655 sctp_process_strreset_inreq\n\nThe local setsockopt path validates the generated reset request size.\nHowever, for an incoming-only reset, it accounts for the smaller IN\nrequest even though the peer must generate an OUT request with the same\nstream list. Such a request cannot be completed successfully by the\npeer.\n\nReject peer IN requests whose corresponding OUT request would exceed\nSCTP_MAX_CHUNK_LEN. Also tighten the local check so it does not send an\nIN request that would require an oversized OUT request from the peer.",
