CVE-2026-53100

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Jun 24, 2026 linux CWE-667

Overview

CVE-2026-53100 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 24, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: mt76: fix deadlock in remain-on-channel

mt76_remain_on_channel() and mt76_roc_complete() call mt76_set_channel()

while already holding dev->mutex. Since mt76_set_channel() also acquires

dev->mutex, this results in a deadlock.

Use __mt76_set_channel() instead of mt76_set_channel().

Add cancel_delayed_work_sync() for mac_work before acquiring the mutex

in mt76_remain_on_channel() to prevent a secondary deadlock with the

mac_work workqueue.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
