Technical description

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

mmc: sdhci-msm: pervent access to suspended controller

Generic sdhci code registers LED device and uses host->runtime_suspended

flag to protect access to it. The sdhci-msm driver doesn't set this flag,

which causes a crash when LED is accessed while controller is runtime

suspended. Fix this by setting the flag correctly.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
