Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mxcmmc host driver. A local user with administrative privileges could trigger this vulnerability by unbinding or removing the device, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) or potential arbitrary code execution. The driver fails to cancel active background tasks and watchdog timers before freeing host resources during device removal, resulting in a use-after-free condition when a pending task or timer fires and accesses freed memory.
