Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: free old damon_sysfs_scheme_filter->memcg_path on write
memcg_path_store() assigns a newly allocated memory buffer to
filter->memcg_path, without deallocating the previously allocated and
assigned memory buffer. As a result, users can leak kernel memory by
continuously writing a data to memcg_path DAMOS sysfs file. Fix the leak
by deallocating the previously set memory buffer.
