CVE-2026-74273 in Linux
Sumário
de MITRE • 15/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/region: Block region delete during region creation
Expand the range lock, rename it "regions_lock", to disable region deletion in the critical period between construct_region() and attach_target(), as well as the period between device_add() and registering the remove actions.
Otherwise, userspace can confuse the kernel. It can violate the assumption the region stays registered through the completion of cxl_add_to_region(). It can violate the assumption that devm_add_action_or_reset() is working with a live 'struct cxl_region'.
It is ok for the region to disappear outside of those windows as that mirrors device hotplug flows where the proper locks are held.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
