  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nmmc: mxcmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()\nmmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory\nthat allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel\ncrash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.\nSo fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call\nmmc_free_host().", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Freescale MXC MMC driver. The mxcmmc driver fails to check the return value of mmc_add_host(). If this function fails, memory allocated by mmc_alloc_host() is leaked, and a subsequent driver removal will crash the kernel when attempting to delete a device that was never successfully added." ],
  "statement" : "This flaw affects embedded systems with Freescale i.MX SoCs using the mxcmmc driver. The issue only manifests when mmc_add_host() fails during driver initialization, which is an uncommon error condition. The memory leak and crash require both specific hardware and an initialization failure to trigger.",
