NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-modules-usb package and not the kernel-uek-modules-usb package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

mmc: via-sdmmc: stop card-detect handling on probe failure

request_irq() registers the SD card-detect interrupt and the probe enables it before mmc_add_host() runs. If mmc_add_host() fails, the error path only unmaps the registers and returns: the interrupt stays registered, so the handler keeps running against the host once it is freed. via_sdc_isr() dereferences sdhost and its MMIO base and schedules carddet_work, which via_sdc_card_detect() also runs against freed memory through its container_of() dereference.

Add a probe-error path that disables and frees the interrupt and cancels carddet_work before unmapping. carddet_work can re-enable the device interrupt via via_reset_pcictrl(), which restores PCIINTCTRL, so mask it again after cancelling the work.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed by manual code review.
