There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 kernel-kdump-devel.

NVD Description

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

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

fbdev: imsttfb: fix a resource leak in probe

I've re-written the error handling but the bug is that if init_imstt() fails we need to call iounmap(par->cmap_regs).
