A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Memory Technology Device (MTD) subsystem. An attacker capable of triggering device registration failures can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a kernel crash. During the setup of One-Time Programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory devices, an initialization failure unregisters the device without clearing its internal reference pointer. Subsequent error handling or cleanup routines attempt to release the device a second time, resulting in a double-free condition and system instability.
