CVE-2022-49896
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/pmem: Fix cxl_pmem_region and cxl_memdev leak
When a cxl_nvdimm object goes through a ->remove() event (device physically removed, nvdimm-bridge disabled, or nvdimm device disabled), then any associated regions must also be disabled. As highlighted by the cxl-create-region.sh test [1], a single device may host multiple regions, but the driver was only tracking one region at a time. This leads to a situation where only the last enabled region per nvdimm device is cleaned up properly. Other regions are leaked, and this also causes cxl_memdev reference leaks.

Fix the tracking by allowing cxl_nvdimm objects to track multiple region associations.

Como se destaca en la prueba cxl-create-region.sh [1], un solo dispositivo puede albergar múltiples regiones, pero el controlador solo rastreaba una región a la vez. Esto lleva a una situación en la que solo la última región habilitada por dispositivo nvdimm se limpia correctamente. Se filtran otras regiones, y esto también causa fugas de referencia de cxl_memdev. Arregla el rastreo permitiendo que los objetos cxl_nvdimm rastreen múltiples asociaciones de regiones."
