CVE-2022-49223

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cxl/port: Hold port reference until decoder release

KASAN + DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE reports a potential use-after-free in
cxl_decoder_release() where it goes to reference its parent, a cxl_port,
to free its id back to port->decoder_ida.

 BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in to_cxl_port+0x18/0x90 [cxl_core]

The device core only guarantees parent lifetime until all children are
unregistered. If a child needs a parent to complete its ->release()
callback that child needs to hold a reference to extend the lifetime of
the parent.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
