How to Fix CVE-2026-97532

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-2026-97532, 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: scsi: qla2xxx: Null out freed pointers in qla2x00_mem_alloc() error path When qla2x00_mem_alloc() fails, qla2x00_probe_one() jumps to probe_hw_failed and calls qla2x00_mem_free(). Several error labels in qla2x00_mem_alloc() freed adapter members (elsrej.c, purex_dma_pool, flt, sfp_data, loop_id_map, async_pd, sf_init_cb, ex_init_cb, npiv_info) but left the pointers dangling. qla2x00_mem_free() then freed them a second time. Worse, for the dma_pool members it issued dma_pool_free(ha->s_dma_pool, ...) after s_dma_pool had already been destroyed and set to NULL at fail_s_dma_pool, dereferencing a NULL pool. Clear each freed pointer (and its DMA handle) in the error labels so the subsequent qla2x00_mem_free() skips them.
