SPRING INTEGRATION PATCHES CRITICAL CONCURRENCY BUG IN FILE FILTER

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Spring

Spring Integration shipped fixes for race conditions that could corrupt internal data structures under concurrent load, with auto-cherry-picks queued for the 7.0.x branch.

The AcceptOnceFileListFilter race condition [1] is the story: a collision between the accept() method holding a lock and an unsynchronized remove() from another thread could corrupt the HashSet internal table. The fix swaps HashSet for ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet(), eliminating the vulnerability entirely. Related concurrency fixes landed in LockRegistries [2], addressing over-eviction under concurrent runs in both JdbcLockRegistry and RedisLockRegistry. Spring Tools pushed two solid improvements: MySQL limit clause parameter support [3] closes a long-standing query builder gap, while org.json bumped to 20260719 [4] brings you current on JSON parsing. Spring Boot is running steady dependency hygiene across the stack, with Netty 4.2.16.Final [5], Maven Invoker Plugin 3.10.1 [6], and action runner bumps [8] keeping the CI pipeline tight. Spring AMQP fixed a subtle content-type matching bug [7] that could misfire Jackson message conversion when subtypes appeared elsewhere in the header.
