In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/lru_sort: handle ctx allocation failure
DAMONLRUSORT allocates the damonctx object for its kdamond in its init function. damonlrusortenabledstore() wrongly assumes the allocation will always succeed once tried. If the damonctx allocation was failed, therefore, code execution reaches to damoncommitctx() while 'ctx' is NULL. As a result, it dereferences the NULL 'ctx' pointer. Avoid the NULL dereference by returning -ENOMEM if 'ctx' is NULL.
