CVE-2026-68465: mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: fix esdhc_change_pinstate() to allow default state restore

Published Aug 15, 2026
·
Updated

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

mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: fix esdhcchangepinstate() to allow default state restore

esdhcchangepinstate() checks for pins100mhz and pins200mhz at the top of the function and returns -EINVAL if either is not defined. This prevents the default case from ever being reached, which means devices with a sleep pinctrl state but without high-speed pin states (100mhz/ 200mhz) can never restore their default pin configuration.

Move the ISERR checks for pins100mhz and pins200mhz into their respective switch cases.
