From: Shawn Wang <shawnwang@linux.alibaba.com> stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.60 commit ade91f6e9848b370add44d89c976e070ccb492ef category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IB37AS CVE: CVE-2024-50223 -------------------------------- Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... [ Upstream commit 9c70b2a33cd2aa6a5a59c5523ef053bd42265209 ] When running stress-ng-vm-segv test, we found a null pointer dereference error in task_numa_work().

Normally this program will not cause kernel crashes. But before the munmap system call returns to user mode, a potential task_numa_work() for numa balancing could be added and executed. In this scenario, since the child process has no vma after munmap, the vma_next() in task_numa_work() will return a null pointer even if the vma iterator restarts from 0. Recheck the vma pointer before dereferencing it in task_numa_work().
