CVE-2026-46067: mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_memcg_{used,free}_bp

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.11% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux a34dac6482e53e2c76944f25b1489b9b7da3a6e6, da10db73ada26345244ea5dc52f974692bd05f66.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux a34dac6482e53e2c76944f25b1489b9b7da3a6e6, da10db73ada26345244ea5dc52f974692bd05f66 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_memcg_{used,free}_bp Users can set damos_quota_goal->nid with arbitrary value for node_memcg_{used,free}_bp. But DAMON core is using those for NODE-DATA() without a validation of the value. This can result in out of bounds memory access. The issue can actually triggered using DAMON user-space tool (damo), like below. $ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/foo $ sudo ./damo start --damos_action stat --damos_quota_interval 1s \ --damos_quota_goal node_memcg_used_bp 50% -1 /foo $ sudo dmseg [...] [ 524.181426] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000002c00 Fix this issue by adding the validation of the given node id. If an invalid node id is given, it returns 0% for used memory ratio, and 100% for free memory ratio.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
