CVE-2026-23041
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer crash in bnxt_ptp_enable during error cleanup
When bnxt_init_one() fails during initialization (e.g., bnxt_init_int_mode returns -ENODEV), the error path calls bnxt_free_hwrm_resources() which destroys the DMA pool and sets bp->hwrm_dma_pool to NULL. Subsequently, bnxt_ptp_clear() is called, which invokes ptp_clock_unregister().
Since commit a60fc3294a37 ("ptp: rework ptp_clock_unregister() to disable events"), ptp_clock_unregister() now calls ptp_disable_all_events(), which in turn invokes the driver's .enable() callback (bnxt_ptp_enable()) to disable PTP events before completing the unregistration.

bnxt_ptp_enable() attempts to send HWRM commands via bnxt_ptp_cfg_pin() and bnxt_ptp_cfg_event(), both of which call hwrm_req_init(). This function tries to allocate from bp->hwrm_dma_pool, causing a NULL pointer dereference:
Lines are against commit f8f9c1f4d0c7 ("Linux 6.19-rc3")
Fix this by clearing and unregistering ptp (bnxt_ptp_clear()) before freeing HWRM resources.
