Vulnerability CVE-2021-47088


Published: 2024-03-04

Description:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/damon/dbgfs: protect targets destructions with kdamond_lock

DAMON debugfs interface iterates current monitoring targets in
'dbgfs_target_ids_read()' while holding the corresponding
'kdamond_lock'. However, it also destructs the monitoring targets in
'dbgfs_before_terminate()' without holding the lock. This can result in
a use_after_free bug. This commit avoids the race by protecting the
destruction with the corresponding 'kdamond_lock'.
