Overview

What is CVE-2026-93049?

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

mtd: mtdswap: Avoid freeing registered blktrans device twice

In mtdswap_add_mtd(), debugfs setup failure after successful blktrans registration can free mbd_dev twice.

add_mtd_blktrans_dev() initializes the blktrans device reference and publishes the disk. Once that succeeds, del_mtd_blktrans_dev() tears the disk down and drops the blktrans reference; when that reference reaches zero, blktrans_dev_release() frees the mtd_blktrans_dev.

The debugfs failure path called del_mtd_blktrans_dev(mbd_dev), then fell through the common cleanup label and called kfree(mbd_dev) again. Clear the local pointer after deregistration so the common cleanup can still release the mtdswap state without freeing the blktrans object twice.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by manual source review.
