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 potential problems:
1. Access an endpoint decoder via a NULL pointer. it always trigger
calltrace like that.
