Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
VMCI: check context->notify_page after call to get_user_pages_fast() to avoid GPF<br />
<br />
The call to get_user_pages_fast() in vmci_host_setup_notify() can return<br />
NULL context->notify_page causing a GPF. To avoid GPF check if<br />
context->notify_page == NULL and return error if so.<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address<br />
