The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in damon_call() when registering requests during kdamond termination. A local user can trigger concurrent DAMON API activity to cause a denial of service.
Requests using repeat mode do not block, but memory can be leaked if dealloc_on_cancel is also set.
