How to Fix CVE-2026-74511

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-2026-74511, 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: Bluetooth: mgmt: fix pending command UAF in EIR updates MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME is handled asynchronously on powered controllers and can run set_name_sync(). When the controller is BR/EDR capable, set_name_sync() updates the local name and then rebuilds EIR data through eir_create(). The EIR builder walks hdev->uuids, but the UUID list can be changed and entries can be freed by MGMT_OP_ADD_UUID and MGMT_OP_REMOVE_UUID. pending_eir_or_class() is meant to serialize management commands that can change EIR or the class of device, but it did not include MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME. In addition, it walked hdev->mgmt_pending without hdev->mgmt_pending_lock even though pending commands are added and removed under that mutex. A racing command completion can therefore remove and free a pending command while pending_eir_or_class() is still inspecting it, leading to a use-after-free in the pending-command list or allowing a local name update to rebuild EIR while UUID entries are being removed. Take hdev->mgmt_pending_lock while scanning hdev->mgmt_pending and treat MGMT_OP_SET_LOCAL_NAME as an EIR/class-affecting pending command on the powered asynchronous path. Check for a conflicting pending command before copying the new short name so a rejected SET_LOCAL_NAME request does not modify hdev->short_name.
