How to Fix CVE-2024-56609

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-2024-56609, 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: wifi: rtw88: use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to purge TX skb When removing kernel modules by: rmmod rtw88_8723cs rtw88_8703b rtw88_8723x rtw88_sdio rtw88_core Driver uses skb_queue_purge() to purge TX skb, but not report tx status causing "Have pending ack frames!" warning. Use ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() to correct this. Since ieee80211_purge_tx_queue() doesn't take locks, to prevent racing between TX work and purge TX queue, flush and destroy TX work in advance. wlan0: deauthenticating from aa:f5:fd:60:4c:a8 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) ------------[ cut here ]------------ Have pending ack frames!
