"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmtd: fix double free and WARN_ON in add_mtd_device() error paths\n\nWhen device_register() or mtd_nvmem_add() fails inside\nadd_mtd_device() for a partition, the error handling triggers\nmtd_release() via put_device() or device_unregister(). mtd_release()\ncalls release_mtd_partition() which frees the mtd_info structure.\nHowever, callers such as mtd_add_partition() and add_mtd_partitions()\nalso call free_partition() in their error paths, resulting in a double\nfree.\n\nAdditionally, release_mtd_partition() hits WARN_ON(!list_empty(\n&mtd->part.node)) because the partition node is still linked in the\nparent's partitions list when the release callback fires from the\nadd_mtd_device() error path.\n\nFix this by overriding dev->type and dev->release before put_device()\nin the error paths, so that device_release() invokes a no-op function\ninstead of mtd_release(). For the mtd_nvmem_add() failure case,\ndevice_unregister() is replaced with device_del() to separate the\ndevice removal from the final kobject reference drop, allowing the\noverride to take effect before put_device() is called.\n\nThe callers' error paths (list_del + free_partition) remain the sole\nowners of mtd_info lifetime on add_mtd_device() failure, which is the\nexpected contract.\n\nThe normal partition teardown path is not affected: del_mtd_device()\ngoes through kref_put() -> mtd_device_release() -> device_unregister()\nwith dev->type still set to &mtd_devtype, so mtd_release() ->\nrelease_mtd_partition() continues to work correctly for the regular\nremoval case."
