Published: June 25, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU135284
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53052
CWE-ID: CWE-119
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect memory access in the qdsp6 topology widget unload handler when processing a virtual widget without checking its type before accessing private data. A local user can trigger the vulnerable code path to cause a denial of service.
