Summary

In the Linux kernel mm/damon/lru_sort module, hot_thres and cold_thres calculations use sample_interval or aggr_interval as divisors, which may lead to division-by-zero errors. The fix adds validation and returns -EINVAL when sample_interval is zero.

Risk Assessment

Can cause kernel crashes or malfunction of DAMON_LRU_SORT with invalid parameter configuration.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix validating parameters and avoiding division by zero.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/lru_sort: avoid divide-by-zero in damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters() Patch series "mm/damon: avoid divide-by-zero in DAMON module's parameters application". DAMON's RECLAIM and LRU_SORT modules perform no validation on user-configured parameters during application, which may lead to division-by-zero errors. Avoid the divide-by-zero by adding validation checks when DAMON modules attempt to apply the parameters. This patch (of 2): During the calculation of 'hot_thres' and 'cold_thres', either 'sample_interval' or 'aggr_interval' is used as the divisor, which may lead to division-by-zero errors. Fix it by directly returning -EINVAL when such a case occurs. Additionally, since 'aggr_interval' is already required to be set no smaller than 'sample_interval' in damon_set_attrs(), only the case where 'sample_interval' is zero needs to be checked.
