      <title>CVE-2026-68450 — btrfs: free mapping node on duplicate reloc root insert</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-68450</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;btrfs: free mapping node on duplicate reloc root insert&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;__add_reloc_root() allocates a mapping_node before inserting it into
rc-&amp;gt;reloc_root_tree.  If rb_simple_insert() finds an existing entry, it
returns the existing rb_node and leaves the newly allocated node unlinked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The error path then returns -EEXIST without freeing the new node.  Since
the node was never inserted into reloc_root_tree, the later cleanup in
put_reloc_control() cannot find it either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free the newly allocated node before returning -EEXIST.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The callers currently assert that -EEXIST should not happen, so this is a
defensive cleanup for an unexpected duplicate insert path.  If the path is
ever reached, the local allocation should still be released.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
