CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-46087
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/stat: fix memory leak on damon_start() failure in damon_stat_start()
Destroy the DAMON context and reset the global pointer when damon_start()
fails. Otherwise, the context allocated by damon_stat_build_ctx() is
leaked, and the stale damon_stat_context pointer will be overwritten on
the next enable attempt, making the old allocation permanently
unreachable.
