  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nmmc: via-sdmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()\nmmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value,\nit will lead two issues:\n1. The memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() is leaked.\n2. In the remove() path, mmc_remove_host() will be called to\ndelete device, but it's not added yet, it will lead a kernel\ncrash because of null-ptr-deref in device_del().\nFix this by checking the return value and goto error path which\nwill call mmc_free_host().", "A flaw was found in the VIA SD/MMC host controller driver. When mmc_add_host() fails, the error is not checked, leading to memory leaks and potential null pointer dereference during driver removal." ],
  "statement" : "This affects systems with VIA SD/MMC controllers only. The crash can occur during module unload if mmc_add_host() failed during probe, which is an uncommon error scenario requiring hardware or resource issues.",
