- Summary
- mm/damon/core: initialize damo_filter->list from damos_new_filter()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/core: initialize damofilter->list from damosnew_filter()
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 damosnew_filter().
