Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mm/damon/stat: fix memory leak on damon_start() failure in damon_stat_start()<br />
<br />
Destroy the DAMON context and reset the global pointer when damon_start()<br />
fails. Otherwise, the context allocated by damon_stat_build_ctx() is<br />
leaked, and the stale damon_stat_context pointer will be overwritten on<br />
the next enable attempt, making the old allocation permanently<br />
unreachable.
