CVE-2024-53109 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nommu: pass NULL argument to vma_iter_prealloc()

When deleting a vma entry from a maple tree it has to pass NULL to vma_iter_prealloc() in order to calculate internal state of the tree but it passed a wrong argument. As a result nommu kernels crashed upon accessing a vma iterator such as acct_collect() reading the size of vma entries after do_munmap().

This commit fixes this issue by passing a right argument to the preallocation call.
