Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:06:14 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bnx2x: fix potential memory leak in bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp()

If the allocation of fp[i].tpa_info fails, the error path will not free
the struct bnx2x_fastpath allocated earlier, as it is not linked to the
bp structure yet. Fix that by linking it immediately after allocation.
