An incorrect return value check for mmc_add_host() and a missing call to mmc_free_host() when usb_control_msg() fails can lead to memory leaks. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability, causing the kernel to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],

This mitigation may impact functionality that relies on the `vub300` MMC device.",
