{"id":"CVE-2026-68375","summary":"bnxt_en: Handle partially initialized auxiliary devices","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbnxt_en: Handle partially initialized auxiliary devices\n\nbnxt_aux_devices_init() calls auxiliary_device_init() before all fields\nused by bnxt_aux_dev_release() are initialized.  After\nauxiliary_device_init() succeeds, later errors must unwind with\nauxiliary_device_uninit(), which invokes the release callback.\n\nThe release callback assumes that aux_priv-\u003eid, aux_priv-\u003eedev,\nedev-\u003enet and edev-\u003eulp_tbl are all populated.  If allocation fails\nafter auxiliary_device_init(), the release path can otherwise dereference\nor clear partially initialized state.\n\nAllocate and attach the bnxt_en_dev and ULP table before calling\nauxiliary_device_init(), so the release callback only sees a fully\ninitialized auxiliary private object.  If auxiliary_device_init() itself\nfails, free those allocations directly because device_initialize() has not\nrun and the release callback will not be invoked.\n\nThis issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by manual\nsource review.","modified":"2026-08-12T04:18:48.202450780Z","published":"2026-08-10T12:03:53.659Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/68xxx/CVE-2026-68375.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1cb8553c02e93e5a150cebd42f9ee3db0ece4707"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e1caa5fdd0dea36938fe39cceb1522e9d86c937"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/68xxx/CVE-2026-68375.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68375"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"194fad5b27815ca80e832ac875c0026ff96fc243"},{"fixed":"4e1caa5fdd0dea36938fe39cceb1522e9d86c937"},{"fixed":"1cb8553c02e93e5a150cebd42f9ee3db0ece4707"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-68375.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.10.0"},{"fixed":"7.1.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-68375.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
