In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnge: Fix NULL pointer dereference in aux device release
If allocation of auxr_dev fails during auxiliary device setup, the error
path calls auxiliary_device_uninit(), which eventually invokes
bnge_aux_dev_release().
The release callback unconditionally dereferences aux_priv->auxr_dev->pdev
to retrieve the parent bnge_dev. Since auxr_dev has not yet been allocated
on this failure path, the dereference results in a NULL pointer exception
Retrieve the parent bnge_dev from the auxiliary device's parent instead of
auxr_dev, and free auxr_dev only when it was successfully allocated. This
allows the release callback to correctly clean up partially initialized
auxiliary devices.
