In 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:
devm_cxl_add_region: cxl_acpi cxl_acpi.0: decoder3.4: created region9
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
