Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: initialize damofilter->list from damosnewfilter() damosnewfilter() is not initializing the list field of newly allocated filter object. However, DAMON sysfs interface and DAMONRECLAIM are not initializing it after calling damosnewfilter(). As a result, accessing uninitialized memory is possible. Actually, adding multiple DAMOS filters via DAMON sysfs interface caused NULL pointer dereferencing. Initialize the field just after the allocation from damosnewfilter().
