Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-01 15:31 – Updated: 2025-11-10 21:30

Details

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.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
