How severe is CVE-2026-53045?

CVE-2026-53045 has a CVSS score of 9.8/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-53045?

CVE-2026-53045 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-53045?

Update Kernel to 5.10.258 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-53045 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-53045 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-53045 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-53045?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-53045 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-53045 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-53045 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

Description

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

memory: tegra124-emc: Fix dll_change check

The code checking whether the specified memory timing enables DLL in the EMRS register was reversed. DLL is enabled if bit A0 is low. Fix the check.
