Summary
mtd: virt_concat: fix use-after-free in mtd_virt_concat_destroy()
Details

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

mtd: virtconcat: fix use-after-free in mtdvirtconcatdestroy()

mtdconcatdestroy() frees item->concat so calling mtdvirtconcatputmtd_devices(item->concat) after that leads to a use-after-free.

Fix it by moving mtdvirtconcatputmtddevices() before mtdconcat_destroy().
