How to Fix CVE-2026-93073

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-2026-93073, 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: dax: read holder_ops once in dax_holder_notify_failure() dax_holder_notify_failure() reads dax_dev->holder_ops twice without READ_ONCE() -- once for the NULL check and once for the indirect notify_failure() call. A concurrent fs_put_dax() can clear holder_ops between the two reads, so the check can observe a non-NULL pointer while the call dereferences NULL. (kill_dax() also clears holder_ops, but only after synchronize_srcu(), so it cannot race a reader that is inside dax_read_lock(); fs_put_dax() does no such synchronization.) Fetch holder_ops once into a local with READ_ONCE() so the NULL check and the indirect call observe the same value.
