CVE-2026-64239CVE-2026-64239
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: delete tried region in regions_rmdirs()
DAMON sysfs maintains the DAMOS tried region directory objects via a
linked list. When the user requests refresh of the directories, DAMON
sysfs removes all the region directories first, and then generate updated
regions directory on the empty space. The removal function
(damon_sysfs_scheme_regions_rm_dirs()) only puts the kobj objects.
Deletion of the container region object from the linked list is done
inside the kobj release callback function.
If somehow the callback invocation is delayed, the list will contain
regions list that gonna be freed. If the updated region directories
creation is started in this situation, the list can be corrupted and
use-after-free can happen.
Because the kobj objects are managed by only DAMON sysfs, the issue cannot
happen in normal situation. But, such delays can be made on kernels that
built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOB
