CVE-2025-71200
Published: February 14, 2026· Updated: Feb 18, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Prevent illegal clock reduction in HS200/HS400 mode
When operating in HS200 or HS400 timing modes, reducing the clock frequency
below 52MHz will lead to link broken as the Rockchip DWC MSHC controller
requires maintaining a minimum clock of 52MHz in these modes.
Add a check to prevent illegal clock reduction through debugfs:
root@debian:/# echo 50000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/clock
root@debian:/# [ 30.090146] mmc0: running CQE recovery
