How to Fix CVE-2024-6875

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Infinispan query dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.infinispan:infinispan-query fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
    <artifactId>infinispan-query</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
org.infinispan:infinispan-query fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>
    <artifactId>infinispan-query</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
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 -Dincludes=org.infinispan

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-6875, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.infinispan

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Infinispan query 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 -Dincludes=org.infinispan 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 CWE-401: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime, where the product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse. In Infinispan query, 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

A vulnerability was found in the Infinispan component in Red Hat Data Grid. The REST compare API may have a buffer leak and an out of memory error can occur when sending continual requests with large POST data to the REST API.
