      "title": "mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_mem_{used,free}_bp",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_mem_{used,free}_bp\n\nPatch series \"mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid\".\n\nnode_mem[cg]_{used,free}_bp DAMOS quota goals receive the node id.  The\nnode id is used for si_meminfo_node() and NODE_DATA() without proper\nvalidation.  As a result, privileged users can trigger an out of bounds\nmemory access using DAMON_SYSFS.  Fix the issues.\n\nThe issue was originally reported [1] with a fix by another author.  The\noriginal author announced [2] that they will stop working including the\nfix that was still in the review stage.  Hence I'm restarting this.\n\n\nThis patch (of 2):\n\nUsers can set damos_quota_goal->nid with arbitrary value for\nnode_mem_{used,free}_bp.  But DAMON core is using those for\nsi_meminfo_node() without the validation of the value.  This can result in\nout of bounds memory access.  The issue can actually triggered using DAMON\nuser-space tool (damo), like below.\n\n    $ sudo ./damo start --damos_action stat \\\n    \t--damos_quota_goal node_mem_used_bp 50% -1 \\\n    \t--damos_quota_interval 1s\n    $ sudo dmesg\n    [...]\n    [   65.565986] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000098\n\nFix this issue by adding the validation of the given node.  If an invalid\nnode id is given, it returns 0% for used memory ratio, and 100% for free\nmemory ratio.",
