CVE-2026-68165

NameCVE-2026-68165
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: validate ranges in damon_set_regions() DAMON core logic assumes zero length regions don't exist. However, a few DAMON API callers including DAMON_SYSFS, DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT allow users to set empty monitoring target regions. This could result in WARN_ONCE() on CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY enabled kernel, and divide-by-zero from damon_merge_two_regions(). For example, the WANR_ONCE() can be triggered like below. # grep DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY /boot/config-$(uname -r) # CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY=y # damo start # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/0 # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/start # echo 0 > contexts/0/targets/0/regions/0/end # echo commit > state # dmesg [....] [ 73.705780] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 73.707552] start 0 >= end 0 [ 73.708452] WARNING: mm/damon/core.c:359 at damon_new_region+0x6e/0x80, CPU#1: kdamond.0/758 [...] All DAMON API callers eventually use damon_set_regions() to setup the regions. Add the validation logic in the function.
