No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40229/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40229/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40229","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40229/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40229","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-40229","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40229","GHSA-23h8-7x35-v9v9","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-40229"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel DAMON subsystem can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/core: fix potential memory leak by cleaning ops_filter in damon_destroy_scheme\n\nCurrently, damon_destroy_scheme() only cleans up the filter list but\nleaves ops_filter untouched, which could lead to memory leaks when a\nscheme is destroyed.\n\nThis patch ensures both filter and ops_filter are properly freed in\ndamon_destroy_scheme(), preventing potential memory leaks.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"mm/damon/core: fix potential memory leak by cleaning ops_filter in damon_destroy_scheme","id":"CVE-2025-40229","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"mm: prevent poison consumption when splitting THP","id":"CVE-2025-40230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mm/damon/sysfs: catch commit test ctx alloc failure","id":"CVE-2025-40228"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel DAMON subsystem can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40229/"}
