Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/numa: Fix the potential null pointer dereference in task_numa_work() When running stress-ng-vm-segv test, we found a null pointer dereference error in task_numa_work(). Here is the backtrace: [323676.066985] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 ...... [323676.067108] CPU: 35 PID: 2694524 Comm: stress-ng-vm-se ......

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().
