How to Fix CVE-2026-80787

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-2026-80787, 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: nvmet: pci-epf: fix use-after-free in nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work() nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work() submits an I/O command with req->execute() and then waits for the command to complete and transfers the data back to the host. This wait is not needed for commands that do not transfer data from the device to the host. To decide whether that wait is needed, it reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir after calling req->execute(). However, once req->execute() is called, the command may complete asynchronously on another CPU. For commands that do not require a device-to-host data transfer, nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() calls nvmet_pci_epf_complete_iod() directly, which can free the iod before it reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir, resulting in the KFENCE use-after- free: BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work+0x288/0x798 [nvmet_pci_epf] Use-after-free read at 0x00000000fdfa6d03 (in kfence-#63): nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work+0x288/0x798 [nvmet_pci_epf] process_one_work+0x15c/0x4f0 worker_thread+0x18c/0x30c kthread+0x130/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 kfence-#63: 0x00000000e3de0e71-0x00000000c938ad62, size=712, cache=kmalloc-1k allocated by task 10 on cpu 0 at 73.995480s (0.005122s ago): mempool_kmalloc+0x1c/0x28 mempool_alloc_noprof+0x40/0x9c nvmet_pci_epf_poll_sqs_work+0xd4/0x344 [nvmet_pci_epf] process_one_work+0x15c/0x4f0 worker_thread+0x18c/0x30c kthread+0x130/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 freed by task 131 on cpu 3 at 73.995521s (0.008385s ago): mempool_kfree+0x10/0x20 mempool_free+0x44/0x64 nvmet_pci_epf_free_iod+0x88/0x98 [nvmet_pci_epf] nvmet_pci_epf_cq_work+0xfc/0x280 [nvmet_pci_epf] process_one_work+0x15c/0x4f0 worker_thread+0x18c/0x30c kthread+0x130/0x140 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 Fix this by referring to iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir before calling req->execute(). The remaining iod accesses such as iod->status are only reached on the device-to-host read path. In this case, nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() signals iod->done instead of freeing the iod, so the iod stays valid.
