CVE-2025-40229

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory leak exists in the Linux kernel’s mm/damon/core component, specifically within the damon destroy scheme() function. The function fails to properly free the ops filter resource when a scheme is destroyed, leading to a potential memory leak. The patch resolves this by ensuring both the filter list and ops filter are freed during scheme destruction.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
