Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2026-46025
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A race condition exists between the `damon call()` and `damos walk()` functions and the `kdamond fn()` termination process. Because the registration of requests in `damon call()` and the unsetting of `damon ctx->kdamond` are protected by different mutexes, a caller may register a new request and begin waiting for it just as the `kdamond` thread is terminating. Since the terminating thread no longer handles new requests, this leads to infinite waiting and deadlocks. Additionally, if a request in repeat mode includes `dealloc on cancel`, memory leaks may occur.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
