CVE-2026-64165: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-64165 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is null.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2026-64165 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 5.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-64165
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-2026-64165, 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.

"details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nARM: integrator: Fix early initialization\n\nStarting with commit bdb249fce9ad4 (\"ARM: integrator: read counter using\nsyscon/regmap\"), intcp_init_early calls syscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible\nwhich in turn calls of_syscon_register. This function allocates memory.\nSince the memory management code has not been initialized at that time,\nthe call always fails.

The crash is not seen with all versions of gcc. Some versions\nsuch as gcc 9.x apparently do not dereference the pointer, presumably if\ntracing is disabled. The problem has been reproduced with gcc 10.x, 11.x,\nand 13.x. Either case, if the crash is not seen, the call to\nsyscon_regmap_lookup_by_compatible returns -ENOMEM, and\nsched_clock_register is never called.\n\nFix the problem by moving the early initialization code into the standard\nmachine initialization code.",
