Summary

In the Linux kernel, the mtd: virt_concat subsystem has a use-after-free vulnerability in mtd_virt_concat_destroy_joins(). The mtd_concat_destroy() function frees item->concat, and then calling mtd_virt_concat_put_mtd_devices(item->concat) leads to use-after-free. The fix moves the call to mtd_virt_concat_put_mtd_devices() before mtd_concat_destroy().

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may lead to memory corruption, potentially causing system crashes or privilege escalation in environments with access to this subsystem.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that fixes the call order in mtd_virt_concat_destroy_joins().
