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.
