CVE-2023-53479

Vulnerability Description

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

cxl/acpi: Fix a use-after-free in cxl_parse_cfmws()

KASAN and KFENCE detected an user-after-free in the CXL driver. This
happens in the cxl_decoder_add() fail path. KASAN prints the following
error:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in cxl_parse_cfmws (drivers/cxl/acpi.c:299)

This happens in cxl_parse_cfmws(), where put_device() is called,
releasing cxld, which is accessed later.

Use the local variables in the dev_err() instead of pointing to the
released memory. Since the dev_err() is printing a resource, change the open
coded print format to use the %pr format specifier.
