Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fix region HPA ordering validation Some regions may not have any address space allocated. Skip them when validating HPA order otherwise a crash like the following may result: devm_cxl_add_region: cxl_acpi cxl_acpi.0: decoder3.4: created region9 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [..] RIP: 0010:store_targetN+0x655/0x1740 [cxl_core] [..] Call Trace: <TASK> kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x144/0x200 vfs_write+0x24a/0x4d0 ksys_write+0x69/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x90 store_targetN+0x655/0x1740: alloc_region_ref at drivers/cxl/core/region.c:676 (inlined by) cxl_port_attach_region at drivers/cxl/core/region.c:850 (inlined by) cxl_region_attach at drivers/cxl/core/region.c:1290 (inlined by) attach_target at drivers/cxl/core/region.c:1410 (inlined by) store_targetN at drivers/cxl/core/region.c:1453
