In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without vDSO
Not all tasks have a vDSO mapped, for example kthreads never do. If such a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the NULL vdso pointer and crash.
This can for example happen when using kunit:
