In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference
PCIe errors detected by a Root Port or Downstream Port cause error
recovery services to run on all subordinate devices regardless of
administrative state.
The .error_detected() callback, bnxt_io_error_detected(), disables
and synchronizes IRQs via bnxt_disable_int_sync(), which calls
bnxt_cp_num_to_irq_num() to map completion rings to IRQs using
bp->bnapi.
Since bp->bnapi is allocated on NIC open and freed on NIC close, PCIe
error recovery on a closed NIC can dereference a NULL pointer.
Check if bp->bnapi is NULL before disabling and synchronizing IRQs.
