Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bnge driver. When an error occurs during device initialization, the driver fails to return after deallocating a device, leading to a null pointer dereference. This can cause system instability or a crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
