{"id":"CVE-2026-68375","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-68375","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T01:49:06.494Z","title":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en: Handle partially initialized auxiliary devices bnxt_aux_devices_init() calls auxiliary_device_init() before all fields used by bnxt_aux_dev_release() are initialized.","description":"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->id, aux_priv->edev,\nedev->net and edev->ulp_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.","published":"2026-08-10T13:20:30.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-21T13:19:28.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":null,"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00175,"percentile":0.06996,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"unknown","text":"Not yet scored.
