What the advisory describes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/lru_sort: error out for >10000 active_mem_bp damos_quota_score() can trigger division by zero if the target value is zero. DAMON_LRU_SORT lets users set the target value for the hot memory scheme via active_mem_bp parameter. It avoids setting it as the target value if the parameter value is zero. However, it also sets the cold memory scheme with a target value that is calculated as '10000 - active_mem_bp + 2'. Hence, if a user sets active_mem_bp 10002, the cold memory scheme's quota goal target value can be zero. As a result, division by zero can be triggered. Fix by returning an error when the user tries to start DAMON with >10000 active_mem_bp parameter value. It makes no sense to set active_mem_bp with 10002. It also requires module parameters write permission to reproduce the issue. That said, the consequence is quite bad. One reliable way to reproduce the issue is like below: # cd /sys/module/damon_lru_sort/parameters # echo 1000 > wmarks_high # echo 995 > wmarks_mid # echo 0 > wmarks_low # echo 10002 > active_mem_bp # echo Y > enabled # dmesg -w [...] [ 597.421247] Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 597.428848] RIP: 0010:damos_quota_score+0x6f/0x480 This issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.

Products the advisory names

These come from the advisory itself, not from any check we performed.

The versions shown are the advisory's own. Patchlage compares no version numbers and derives no judgement from them — which version is installed is something a person has to look up.

Does this concern one of your customers?

This page cannot answer that — it does not know your estate. Whoever has recorded their environments gets the answer the morning after publication, together with a paragraph they can forward to the customer unedited.
