In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnx2x: fix double free in bnx2x_init_firmware() error path
bnx2x_init_firmware() frees bp->init_ops, bp->init_data and
bp->init_ops_offsets in its error path without setting them to NULL.
The cleanup function bnx2x_release_firmware() frees the same three
pointers unconditionally, so if init_firmware fails and
release_firmware is later called (e.g. from __bnx2x_remove or through
the function state machine), all three are freed a second time.
Set each pointer to NULL after kfree() in the error path so that the
subsequent kfree(NULL) in bnx2x_release_firmware() is a safe no-op.
A flaw was found in the bnx2x component of the Linux kernel. This flaw occurs due to a double free vulnerability within the bnx2x_init_firmware() function's error handling path. Memory pointers are freed without being set to NULL, allowing the bnx2x_release_firmware() cleanup function to attempt freeing the same memory a second time. This issue could lead to system instability, a denial of service (DoS), or potentially arbitrary code execution.
