Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

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