Summary

In the Linux kernel, the mmc via-sdmmc driver does not cancel carddet_work on device removal; already queued work can run after the host is freed, causing a use-after-free. The fix cancels carddet_work after freeing the IRQ and before cancelling finish_bh_work.

Risk Assessment

A use-after-free in the MMC driver can cause kernel crashes or potential privilege escalation. Affects systems with via-sdmmc controllers.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix. Avoid hot-unplugging via-sdmmc controllers on unpatched systems.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: via-sdmmc: cancel card-detect work on remove Disabling the device interrupt and freeing the IRQ prevents new card-detect work from being queued, but carddet_work already queued by the handler can still run after via_sd_remove() returns. via_sdc_card_detect() recovers the host through container_of() and dereferences its MMIO base; once remove() returns the host can be freed, so that work would touch freed memory. Cancel carddet_work after freeing the IRQ and before cancelling finish_bh_work, which the card-detect handler can also queue. carddet_work can re-enable the interrupt through via_reset_pcictrl(); mask it again afterwards. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed by manual code review.
