{"id":"CVE-2024-56611","summary":"mm/mempolicy: fix migrate_to_node() assuming there is at least one VMA in a MM","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/mempolicy: fix migrate_to_node() assuming there is at least one VMA in a MM\n\nWe currently assume that there is at least one VMA in a MM, which isn't\ntrue.\n\nSo we might end up having find_vma() return NULL, to then de-reference\nNULL.  So properly handle find_vma() returning NULL.\n\nThis fixes the report:\n\nOops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]\nCPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 6021 Comm: syz-executor284 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc7-syzkaller-00187-gf868cd251776 #0\nHardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 10/30/2024\nRIP: 0010:migrate_to_node mm/mempolicy.c:1090 [inline]\nRIP: 0010:do_migrate_pages+0x403/0x6f0 mm/mempolicy.c:1194\nCode: ...\nRSP: 0018:ffffc9000375fd08 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc9000375fd78 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: ffff88807e171300 RSI: dffffc0000000000 RDI: ffff88803390c044\nRBP: ffff88807e171428 R08: 0000000000000014 R09: fffffbfff2039ef1\nR10: ffffffff901cf78f R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000003\nR13: ffffc9000375fe90 R14: ffffc9000375fe98 R15: ffffc9000375fdf8\nFS:  00005555919e1380(0000) GS:ffff8880b8700000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00005555919e1ca8 CR3: 000000007f12a000 CR4: 00000000003526f0\nDR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\nDR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n kernel_migrate_pages+0x5b2/0x750 mm/mempolicy.c:1709\n __do_sys_migrate_pages mm/mempolicy.c:1727 [inline]\n __se_sys_migrate_pages mm/mempolicy.c:1723 [inline]\n __x64_sys_migrate_pages+0x96/0x100 mm/mempolicy.c:1723\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xcd/0x250 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add unlikely()]","modified":"2026-04-16T04:31:55.659551448Z","published":"2024-12-27T14:51:16.163Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:0289-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0428-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0499-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0557-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20165-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20166-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20248-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20249-1","USN-7379-2","USN-7380-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56611.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/091c1dd2d4df6edd1beebe0e5863d4034ade9572"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/42d9fe2adf8613f9eea1f0c2619c9e2611eae0ea"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a13b2b9b0b0b04612c7d81e3b3dfb485c5f7abc3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56611.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-56611"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"39743889aaf76725152f16aa90ca3c45f6d52da3"},{"fixed":"a13b2b9b0b0b04612c7d81e3b3dfb485c5f7abc3"},{"fixed":"42d9fe2adf8613f9eea1f0c2619c9e2611eae0ea"},{"fixed":"091c1dd2d4df6edd1beebe0e5863d4034ade9572"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-56611.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
