Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98213)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a use-after-free access to kernel memory.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the MMC core SDIO interrupt worker when pending interrupt work executes after the host controller is removed and its host structure is freed. A local user can trigger execution of the pending worker during this removal race to cause a use-after-free access to kernel memory.

The issue applies to host controllers that use sdio_signal_irq() to schedule SDIO interrupt work from their interrupt handlers.
