No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 Linux 内核中，以下漏洞已得到修复： net: thunderx: 修复 nicvf_probe() 中的 PTP 设备引用泄漏问题 cavium_ptp_get() 通过 pci_get_device() 获取 PTP PCI 设备的引用。如果在调用 cavium_ptp_get() 之后，任何初始化步骤失败，该 PTP PCI 设备的引用将发生泄漏。为此，新增了一条通用的错误处理路径，在因探测失败而返回之前释放该 PTP 引用。
