Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:24:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mtd: virt-concat: free duplicate generated name

Every MTD registration runs mtd_virt_concat_create_join().  Once a
virtual concat has already been registered, the function builds the same
name again and takes the equal-name branch.  That branch skips to the
next item without freeing the newly allocated string.

Free the temporary name before continuing.
