CVE-2026-89441 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: via-sdmmc: cancel card-detect work on remove Disabling the device interrupt and freeing the IRQ prevents new card-detect work from being queued, but carddet_work already queued by the handler can still run after via_sd_remove() returns. via_sdc_card_detect() recovers the host through container_of() and dereferences its MMIO base; once remove() returns the host can be freed, so that work would touch freed memory. Cancel carddet_work after freeing the IRQ and before cancelling finish_bh_work, which the card-detect handler can also queue. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: via-sdmmc: cancel card-detect work on remove Disabling the device interrupt and freeing the IRQ prevents new card-detect work from being queued, but carddet_work already queued by the handler can still run after via_sd_remove() returns. via_sdc_card_detect() recovers the host through container_of() and dereferences its MMIO base; once remove() returns the host can be freed, so that work would touch freed memory. Cancel carddet_work after freeing the IRQ and before cancelling finish_bh_work, which the card-detect handler can also queue. carddet_work can re-enable the interrupt through via_reset_pcictrl(); mask it again afterwards. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool and confirmed by manual code review.
