In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm: pgtable: fix NULL pointer dereference issue
When update_mmu_cache_range() is called by update_mmu_cache(), the vmf
parameter is NULL, which will cause a NULL pointer dereference issue in
adjust_pte():
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030 when read
Hardware name: Atmel AT91SAM9
PC is at update_mmu_cache_range+0x1e0/0x278
LR is at pte_offset_map_rw_nolock+0x18/0x2c

Exception stack(0xc0d8bfb0 to 0xc0d8bff8)
To fix it, do not rely on whether 'ptl' is equal to decide whether to hold
the pte lock, but decide it by whether CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS is
enabled. In addition, if two vmas map to the same PTE page, there is no
need to hold the pte lock again, otherwise a deadlock will occur. Just
add the need_lock parameter to let adjust_pte() know this information.
