Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: rtsx_pci: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path. So fix this by checking the return value and calling mmc_free_host() in the error path, beside, runtime PM also needs be disabled.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.8 < 5.15.86) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.0.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.1 < 6.1.2)
