Cxl port teardown improvement

CVE-2024-50226

What is CVE-2024-50226?

A vulnerability exists within the Linux kernel's CXL framework due to improper handling of decoders during memory region management, leading to a use-after-free condition. This flaw can result in crashes when the system is unable to correctly manage the teardown of decoder objects, particularly when attempting to disable decoders out of order. The kernel may attempt to access a stale memory reference after a decoder has been removed, causing a general protection fault. The recent updates aim to rectify this issue by ensuring that the removal of decoder objects is handled more robustly according to the CXL specification, significantly improving system stability and integrity in memory management routines.
