| Description |
| The Linux Kernel versions 4.14, 4.15, and 4.16 has a null pointer
dereference which can result in an out of memory (OOM) killing of
large mlocked processes. The issue arises from an oom killed process's
final thread calling exit_mmap(), which calls munlock_vma_pages_all()
for mlocked vmas.This can happen synchronously with the oom reaper's
unmap_page_range() since the vma's VM_LOCKED bit is cleared before
munlocking (to determine if any other vmas share the memory and are
mlocked).
