Overview

CVE-2026-53037 is a medium-severity vulnerability. 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:

HID: usbhid: fix deadlock in hid_post_reset()

You can build a USB device that includes a HID component

and a storage or UAS component. The components can be reset

only together. That means that hid_pre_reset() and hid_post_reset()

are in the block IO error handling. Hence no memory allocation

used in them may do block IO because the IO can deadlock

on the mutex held while resetting a device and calling the

interface drivers.

Use GFP_NOIO for all allocations in them.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-53037?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
