CVE-2026-53150

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Jun 25, 2026 linux CWE-191 EPSS 0.16% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-53150 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 25, 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:

thunderbolt: Reject zero-length property entries in validator

tb_property_entry_valid() accepts entries with length == 0 for

DIRECTORY, DATA, and TEXT types. A zero-length TEXT entry passes

validation but causes an underflow in the null-termination logic:

property->value.text[property->length * 4 - 1] = '\0';

When property->length is 0 this writes to offset -1 relative to

the allocation.

Reject zero-length entries early in the validator since they have no

valid representation in the XDomain property protocol.

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.
