CVE-2026-46087
mediumVulnerability Report
Generated by CyberWatcher
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Data Access MONitor (DAMON) subsystem. When the `damon_start()` function fails during the `damon_stat_start()` operation, the system does not properly release the allocated memory context. This oversight leads to a memory leak, where previously allocated memory becomes permanently unreachable. Over time, this can result in resource exhaustion, potentially impacting system stability and performance.
