In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/sysfs: fix paramctx leak on damonsysfsnewtest_ctx() failure
Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix memory leak and NULL dereference issues", v4.
DAMON_SYSFS can leak memory under allocation failure, and do NULL pointer dereference when a privileged user make wrong sequences of control. Fix those.
This patch (of 3):
When damonsysfsnewtestctx() fails in damonsysfscommitinput(), paramctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the out label. Destroy param_ctx before returning.
