Summary

In the SPI driver for MediaTek chips (mtk-snfi), the ECC engine was not unregistered during probe failure unwind and device removal. A devm cleanup action was added to ensure nand_ecc_unregister_on_host_hw_engine() is called correctly in both cases.

Risk Assessment

Failure to unregister the ECC engine can lead to memory leaks, system instability, or unpredictable behavior when attempting to reuse hardware resources.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix to ensure proper ECC resource management in the mtk-snfi driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: mtk-snfi: unregister ECC engine on probe failure and remove() callback mtk_snand_probe() registers the on-host NAND ECC engine, but teardown was missing from both probe unwind and remove-time cleanup. Add a devm cleanup action after successful registration so nand_ecc_unregister_on_host_hw_engine() runs automatically on probe failures and during device removal.
