System crash via negative MMC array index
Published May 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Improper array-index validation in the Linux MMC core allows local users to crash affected systems through a crafted FFU request. In drivers/mmc/core/block.c, the close-ended firmware-update path reads the preceding idatas element before confirming that the current array position is greater than zero, causing the initial iteration to access memory before the array. Access requires a local low-privileged account and a reachable MMC firmware-update interface; the documented consequence is a kernel crash with no confidentiality or integrity impact.
