Summary
CVE-2026-46164 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.141.1-1
Details

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

btrfs: fix double free in createspaceinfosubgroup() error path

When kobjectinitand_add() fails, the call chain is:

createspaceinfosubgroup() -> btrfssysfsaddspaceinfotype() -> kobjectinitandadd() -> failure -> kobjectput(&subgroup->kobj) -> spaceinforelease() -> kfree(sub_group)

Then control returns to createspaceinfosubgroup(), where:

btrfssysfsaddspaceinfotype() returns error -> kfree(subgroup)

Thus, sub_group is freed twice.

Keep parent->subgroup[index] = NULL for the failure path, but after btrfssysfsaddspaceinfotype() has called kobject_put(), let the kobject release callback handle the cleanup.
