CVE-2026-98209

/// Technical description

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

mmc: sdhci-of-aspeed: Remove children before releasing SDC resources

Probe failure and removal leave SDHCI child devices registered after the

parent clock and managed resources are released.

Unregister the OF children in reverse order before disabling the parent

clock on both paths. Use of_platform_device_destroy() because manual

child creation does not set the flag required by of_platform_depopulate().

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research

while reviewing kernel code.

/// 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.
