CVE-2026-97502CVE-2026-97502
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: davinci: avoid NULL deref of host->data in IRQ handler
mmc_davinci_irq() returns early only when both host->cmd and
host->data are NULL:
if (host->cmd == NULL && host->data == NULL) {
...
return IRQ_NONE;
}
So we may legitimately reach the rest of the handler with
host->data == NULL (and therefore data == NULL). The DATDNE branch
already guards against this with an explicit "if (data != NULL)"
check, but the subsequent TOUTRD ("read data timeout") and
CRCWR/CRCRD ("data CRC error") branches dereference data
unconditionally:
if (qstatus & MMCST0_TOUTRD) {
data->error = -ETIMEDOUT; <-- NULL deref
...
davinci_abort_data(host, data);
}
if (qstatus & (MMCST0_CRCWR | MMCST0_CRCRD)) {
data->error = -EILSEQ; <-- NULL deref
...
}
If either bit is set in qstatus while host->data is NULL, the kernel
will crash inside the
