CVE-2026-47859 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.4) affecting spring integration. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

RFC6587SyslogDeserializer, used by the Spring Integration syslog TCP inbound adapter to decode RFC 6587 / RFC 5424 frames, trusts the sender-supplied octet count of an octet-counted frame and allocates a byte array of exactly that size with no upper bound. Spring Integration 7.1.0 Spring Integration 7.0.0 - 7.0.5 Spring Integration 6.5.0 - 6.5.10 Spring Integration 6.4.0 - 6.4.12 Spring Integration 5.5.21 and earlier

Why this priority

No elevated risk signals yet

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

vmware spring integration UPGRADE

Affected: < 5.5.22 · >= 6.4.0 and < 6.4.13 · >= 6.5.0 and < 6.5.11 · >= 7.0.0 and < 7.0.5.1 · >= 7.1.0 and < 7.1.0.1

Fixed in: 5.5.22, 6.4.13, 6.5.11, 7.0.5.1, 7.1.0.1

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.4.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy spring-integration || rpm -q spring-integration || spring-integration --version

2. UPGRADE to 5.5.22 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade spring-integration

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade spring-integration

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.4.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison spring-integration sudo apt install spring-integration=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.4.0> sudo apt-mark hold spring-integration

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list spring-integration sudo dnf downgrade spring-integration-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.4.0> sudo dnf versionlock add spring-integration

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
