CVE-2026-53295
Last modified
CVE-2026-53295 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: add sanity check for channel array Fail gracefully if there is no channel array attached to the mailbox controller. Otherwise the later dereference will cause an OOPS which might not be seen because mailbox controllers might instantiate very early. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
