"lang": "en",
"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/core: clear walk_control on inactive context in damos_walk()\n\ndamos_walk() sets ctx->walk_control to the caller-provided control\nstructure before checking whether the context is running. If the context\nis inactive (damon_is_running() returns false), the function returns\n-EINVAL without clearing ctx->walk_control. This leaves a dangling\npointer to a stack-allocated structure that will be freed when the caller\nreturns.\n\nThis is structurally identical to the bug fixed in commit f9132fbc2e83\n(\"mm/damon/core: remove call_control in inactive contexts\") for\ndamon_call(), which had the same pattern of linking a control object and\nreturning an error without unlinking it.\n\nThe dangling walk_control pointer can cause:\n1. Use-after-free if the context is later started and kdamond\n   dereferences ctx->walk_control (e.g., in damos_walk_cancel()\n   which writes to control->canceled and calls complete())\n2. Permanent -EBUSY from subsequent damos_walk() calls, since the\n   stale pointer is non-NULL\n\nNonetheless, the real user impact is quite restrictive. The\nuse-after-free is impossible because there is no damos_walk() callers who\nstarts the context later. The permanent -EBUSY can actually confuse\nusers, as DAMON is not running. But the symptom is kept only while the\ncontext is turned off. Turning it on again will make DAMON internally\nuses a newly generated damon_ctx object that doesn't have the invalid\ndamos_walk_control pointer, so everything will work fine again.\n\nFix this by clearing ctx->walk_control under walk_control_lock before\nreturning -EINVAL, mirroring the fix pattern from f9132fbc2e83."
