# CVE-2024-57886: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: fix new damon_target objects leak... CVE-2024-57886 is fixed in 36 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-57886, released January 15, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-57886 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0018 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jan 15, 2025 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: fix new damon_target objects leaks on damon_commit_targets() Patch series "mm/damon/core: fix memory leaks and ignored inputs from damon_commit_ctx()". Due to two bugs in damon_commit_targets() and damon_commit_schemes(), which are called from damon_commit_ctx(), some user inputs can be ignored, and some mmeory objects can be leaked. Fix those. Note that only DAMON sysfs interface users are affected. Other DAMON core API user modules that more focused more on simple and dedicated production usages, including DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT are not using the buggy function in the way, so not affected. This patch (of 2): When new DAMON targets are added via damon_commit_targets(), the newly created targets are not deallocated when updating the internal data (damon_commit_target()) is failed. Worse yet, even if the setup is successfully done, the new target is not linked to the context. Hence, the new targets are always leaked regardless of the internal data setup failure. Fix the leaks. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | kernel-uek ol 10 | 0:6.12.0-101.33.4.3.el9uek |
