In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mempolicy: fix migrate_to_node() assuming there is at least one VMA in a MM
We currently assume that there is at least one VMA in a MM, which isn't
true.
So we might end up having find_vma() return NULL, to then de-reference
NULL. So properly handle find_vma() returning NULL.
This fixes the report:
