CVE-2026-53152 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: dw_mmc-rockchip: Add missing private data for very old controllers The really old controllers (rk2928, rk3066, rk3188) do not support UHS speeds at all, and thus never handled phase data. For that reason it never had a parse_dt callback and no driver private data at all. Commit ff6f0286c896 ("mmc: dw_mmc-rockchip: Add memory clock auto-gating support") makes the private data sort of mandatory, because the init function checks whether phases are configured internally or through the clock controller. This results in the old SoCs then experiencing NULL-pointer dereferences when they try to access that private-data struct. While we could have if (priv) conditionals in all places, it's way less cluttery to just give the old types their private-data struct.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's dw_mmc-rockchip controller driver for older Rockchip SoCs (rk2928, rk3066, rk3188) has been addressed. These controllers do not support UHS speeds and therefore never managed phase data, resulting in the absence of a parse_dt callback and driver private data. A recent commit made the private data necessary, leading to NULL pointer dereferences when the old SoCs attempted to access the private-data structure. The vulnerability has been fixed by adding the missing private data for these controllers.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for downloading the patched version are available on the Linux Kernel Archive.
