Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
cxl/region: Fix cxl_region leak, cleanup targets at region delete<br />
<br />
When a region is deleted any targets that have been previously assigned<br />
to that region hold references to it. Trigger those references to<br />
drop by detaching all targets at unregister_region() time.<br />
<br />
Otherwise that region object will leak as userspace has lost the ability<br />
to detach targets once region sysfs is torn down.
