In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages
The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current->mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.
Let's fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.
