In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnge: return after auxiliarydeviceuninit() in error path When auxiliarydeviceadd() fails, the error block calls auxiliarydeviceuninit() but does not return. The uninit drops the last reference and synchronously runs bngeauxdevrelease(), which sets bd->auxrdev = NULL and frees the underlying object. The subsequent bd->auxr_dev->net = bd->netdev then dereferences NULL, which is not a good thing to have happen when trying to clean up from an error. Add the missing return, as the auxiliary bus documentation states is a requirement (seems that LLM tools read documentation better than humans do...)
