How to Fix CVE-2024-50057

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-2024-50057, 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 CWE-763: Release of Invalid Pointer or Reference, where the product attempts to return a memory resource to the system, but it calls the wrong release function or calls the appropriate release function incorrectly. 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: usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it. Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning caused by the tps6598x module removal: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 333 at kernel/irq/devres.c:144 devm_free_irq+0x80/0x8c ... ...
