In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check folio->mapping is valid Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check that folio->mapping is valid once it has taken the folio lock (as filemap_page_mkwrite() does). Without this, generic/247 occasionally oopses with something like the following: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page RIP: 0010:trace_event_raw_event_netfs_folio+0x61/0xc0 ...
