CVE-2025-71200

Medium

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.
