Vulnerability Report

Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `cxl/region` component. This vulnerability involves a resource leakage within the `__construct_region()` function. When `sysfs_update_group()` fails, the resource is not explicitly freed, leading to a memory leak. This could potentially allow a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system resources.
