How to Fix CVE-2026-97604

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-2026-97604, 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: fbdev: vfb: defer cleanup until the last reference FBIOGETCMAP takes a shallow snapshot of info->cmap and performs the usercopy after dropping info->lock. vfb_remove() frees the colormap immediately after unregistering the framebuffer, even when an open file still holds a reference to fb_info. A concurrent driver unbind can therefore free the colormap while the ioctl copies it to userspace. KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user Read of size 512 by task poc/125 _copy_to_user (./include/linux/instrumented.h:129 ./include/linux/uaccess.h:201 lib/usercopy.c:24) fb_cmap_to_user (./include/linux/uaccess.h:230 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:211) do_fb_ioctl (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_chrdev.c:114) Allocated by task 1: fb_alloc_cmap_gfp (./include/linux/slab.h:973 ./include/linux/slab.h:1290 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:108) vfb_probe (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:459) Freed by task 124: fb_dealloc_cmap (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.c:151) vfb_remove (drivers/video/fbdev/vfb.c:489) unregister_framebuffer() drops the registration reference, and fbdev calls fb_destroy after the last put_fb_info(). Move the registered framebuffer's cleanup into an fb_destroy callback so its colormap and screen buffer stay alive until all file references have been released.
