  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nmmc: core: Fix kernel panic when remove non-standard SDIO card\nSDIO tuple is only allocated for standard SDIO card, especially it causes\nmemory corruption issues when the non-standard SDIO card has removed, which\nis because the card device's reference counter does not increase for it at\nsdio_init_func(), but all SDIO card device reference counter gets decreased\nat sdio_release_func().", "A flaw in the Linux kernel mmc core driver was discovered that could lead to a kernel panic and memory corruption when a non-standard SDIO card is removed. The Vulnerability arises because SDIO tuples are only allocated for standard SDIO cards, resulting in an inconsistent reference count for the device structure. When the non-standard card is removed, the reference counter is decremented without the corresponding earlier increment, potentially triggering use of freed memory or panic conditions. A local user with access to the affected subsystem could trigger this behavior, causing the kernel to crash." ],
