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.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
