Description

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().

That branch skips to the next item without freeing the newly allocated string. Free the temporary name before continuing.
