Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-01 15:31 – Updated: 2025-05-07 15:31In 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:
