Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> nommu: pass NULL argument to vma_iter_prealloc()<br /> <br /> When deleting a vma entry from a maple tree, it has to pass NULL to<br /> vma_iter_prealloc() in order to calculate internal state of the tree, but<br /> it passed a wrong argument. As a result, nommu kernels crashed upon<br /> accessing a vma iterator, such as acct_collect() reading the size of vma<br /> entries after do_munmap().<br /> <br /> This commit fixes this issue by passing a right argument to the<br /> preallocation call.
