In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fill first free targets[] slot during auto-discovery Any invalid endpoint decoder pointer in the target array of an active region is not allowed by cxl driver. This means cxl driver always assumes the first p->nr_targets entries of the target array in an auto-assembly region are valid. However, there are scenarios that could leave NULL endpoint decoder pointer holes in the target array. 1. When cxl_cancel_auto_attach() removes an endpoint decoder from a target array, the target slot is set to NULL. If the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, the target array will contain a NULL hole. 2. When a auto-assembly region removes an assigned endpoint decoder, if the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, always remains a NULL hole in the target array. When a NULL pointer hole exists in a region's target array, it introduces two pote
