{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-31445","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  mm/damon/core: avoid use of half-online-committed context  One major usage of damon_call() is online DAMON parameters update.  It is done by calling damon_commit_ctx() inside the damon_call() callback function.  damon_commit_ctx() can fail for two reasons: 1) invalid parameters and 2) internal memory allocation failures.  In case of failures, the damon_ctx that attempted to be updated (commit destination) can be partially updated (or, corrupted from a perspective), and therefore shouldn't be used anymore.  The function only ensures the damon_ctx object can safely deallocated using damon_destroy_ctx().  The API callers are, however, calling damon_commit_ctx() only after asserting the parameters are valid, to avoid damon_commit_ctx() fails due to invalid input parameters.  But it can still theoretically fail if the internal memory allocation fails.  In the case, DAMON may run with the partially updated damon_ctx.  This can result in unexpected behaviors including even NULL pointer dereference in case of damos_commit_dests() failure [1].  Such allocation failure is arguably too small to fail, so the real world impact would be rare.  But, given the bad consequence, this needs to be fixed.  Avoid such partially-committed (maybe-corrupted) damon_ctx use by saving the damon_commit_ctx() failure on the damon_ctx object.  For this, introduce damon_ctx-\u003emaybe_corrupted field.  damon_commit_ctx() sets it when it is failed.  kdamond_call() checks if the field is set after each damon_call_control-\u003efn() is executed.  If it is set, ignore remaining callback requests and return.  All kdamond_call() callers including kdamond_fn() also check the maybe_corrupted field right after kdamond_call() invocations.  If the field is set, break the kdamond_fn() main loop so that DAMON sill doesn't use the context that might be corrupted.
