NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mmc: uniphier-sd: Fix a resource leak in the remove function

A 'tmio_mmc_host_free()' call is missing in the remove function, in order to balance a 'tmio_mmc_host_alloc()' call in the probe. This is done in the error handling path of the probe, but not in the remove function.

Add the missing call.
