Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The DAMON_LRU_SORT component, responsible for memory management, does not properly handle allocation failures of the damon_ctx object. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when damon_commit_ctx() is called with a NULL ctx pointer, potentially causing a system crash or denial of service.

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
