No todos los decodificadores tienen una devoluci\u00f3n de llamada de reinicio. La especificaci\u00f3n CXL permite que un puente de host con un \u00fanico puerto ra\u00edz no tenga decodificadores HDM expl\u00edcitos. Actualmente, el controlador de regi\u00f3n supone que no hay ninguno. Como tal, el n\u00facleo CXL crea una instancia de decodificador de paso especial sin una devoluci\u00f3n de llamada de confirmaci\u00f3n/restablecimiento. Antes de este parche, la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada ->reset() se llamaba incondicionalmente al llamar a cxl_region_decode_reset. Por lo tanto, una configuraci\u00f3n con 1 puente de host, 1 puerto ra\u00edz y un dispositivo CXL tipo 3 conectado directamente o varios dispositivos CXL tipo 3 conectados a puertos descendentes de un conmutador puede provocar una desreferencia de puntero null. Antes de la soluci\u00f3n, se observaba un fallo del kernel cuando destru\u00edamos la regi\u00f3n y se restablec\u00eda un decodificador de paso. El problema se puede reproducir como se muestra a continuaci\u00f3n: 1) cree una regi\u00f3n con una configuraci\u00f3n CXL que incluya un HB con un \u00fanico puerto ra\u00edz bajo el cual se conecta directamente un memdev. 2) destruir la regi\u00f3n con cxl destroy-region regionX -f."}], "id": "CVE-2022-48707", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T05:15:58.630", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2022-48707", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-05-23T17:51:43.390258Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-05-21T16:15:12.173", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fa4302d6dc7de7e8e74dc7405611a2efb4bf54b"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a04c7d062b537ff787d00da95bdfe343260d4beb"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4fa4302d6dc7de7e8e74dc7405611a2efb4bf54b"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a04c7d062b537ff787d00da95bdfe343260d4beb"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-476"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
