Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-scheme: cleanup access_pattern subdirs on scheme dir setup failure
When a DAMOS-scheme DAMON sysfs directory setup fails after setup of
access_pattern/ directory, subdirectories of access_pattern/ directory are
not cleaned up. As a result, DAMON sysfs interface is nearly broken until
the system reboots, and the memory for the unremoved directory is leaked.
Cleanup the directories under such failures.
A resource leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access MONitor) sysfs interface. When setting up a DAMOS-scheme directory fails after the access_pattern/ subdirectory has been created, the subdirectories are not properly cleaned up. This leaves the DAMON sysfs interface in a broken state until reboot and causes a memory leak for the unremoved directory structures.
Отчет
Exploiting this flaw requires access to the DAMON sysfs interface, which typically requires root privileges. The impact is limited to degraded DAMON functionality and minor memory leakage, requiring a reboot to restore normal operation.
