Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fix cxl_region leak, cleanup targets at region delete When a region is deleted any targets that have been previously assigned to that region hold references to it. Trigger those references to drop by detaching all targets at unregister_region() time. Otherwise that region object will leak as userspace has lost the ability to detach targets once region sysfs is torn down.
Отчет
A memory leak was fixed in the cxl_region subsystem where previously assigned endpoint decoders retained references to a deleted region object. Without explicit target detachment at the time of region removal, these references were never released, leading to a persistent leak. This issue can only be triggered by privileged users with access to region configuration via sysfs. Unprivileged users cannot create or delete CXL regions or assign decoders.
