    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bnxt_en: Fix possible crash in bnxt_hwrm_set_coal()

    During the error recovery sequence, the rtnl_lock is not held for the
    entire duration and some datastructures may be freed during the sequence.
    Check for the BNXT_STATE_OPEN flag instead of netif_running() to ensure
    that the device is fully operational before proceeding to reconfigure
    the coalescing settings.

    This will fix a possible crash like this:
