Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-31653 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0011 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Apr 24, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/sysfs: dealloc repeat_call_control if damon_call() fails damon_call() for repeat_call_control of DAMON_SYSFS could fail if somehow the kdamond is stopped before the damon_call(). It could happen, for example, when te damon context was made for monitroing of a virtual address processes, and the process is terminated immediately, before the damon_call() invocation. In the case, the dyanmically allocated repeat_call_control is not deallocated and leaked. Fix the leak by deallocating the repeat_call_control under the damon_call() failure. This issue is discovered by sashiko [1]. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.25-55.108 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.19.13-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31653](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-31653.md) | May 15, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.25-55.108.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1693](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1693.md) | May 8, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T01:18:40Z UTC.
