Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs: check contexts->nr before accessing contexts_arr[0]
Multiple sysfs command paths dereference contexts_arr[0] without first verifying that kdamond->contexts->nr == 1. A user can set nr_contexts to 0 via sysfs while DAMON is running, causing NULL pointer dereferences.
In more detail, the issue can be triggered by privileged users like below.
First, start DAMON and make contexts directory empty (kdamond->contexts->nr == 0).
Then, each of below commands will cause the NULL pointer dereference.
Guard all commands (except OFF) at the entry point of damon_sysfs_handle_cmd().
