Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: free old damon_sysfs_scheme_filter->memcg_path on write<br />
<br />
memcg_path_store() assigns a newly allocated memory buffer to<br />
filter->memcg_path, without deallocating the previously allocated and<br />
assigned memory buffer. As a result, users can leak kernel memory by<br />
continuously writing a data to memcg_path DAMOS sysfs file. Fix the leak<br />
by deallocating the previously set memory buffer.
