In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: swap_cgroup: fix NULL deref in lookup_swap_cgroup_id on swapless host
lookup_swap_cgroup_id() passes swap_cgroup_ctrl[type].map to __swap_cgroup_id_lookup() without checking that the type was ever registered via swap_cgroup_swapon(). On a swapless host every ctrl->map is NULL, so __swap_cgroup_id_lookup() dereferences NULL + a scaled swp_offset().
Since commit bea67dcc5eea ("mm: attempt to batch free swap entries for zap_pte_range()"), zap_pte_range() -> swap_pte_batch() calls lookup_swap_cgroup_id() on any non-present, non-none PTE that decodes as a real swap entry, without first validating it against swap_info[]. A single PTE corrupted into a type-0 swap entry takes the host down at process exit.
We hit this in production on a swapless 6.12.58 host: ~1s of "get_swap_device: Bad swap file entry 3f800204222bb" (do_swap_page() being correctly defensive about the same entry) followed by

syzbot has reported the identical stack.
The source of the PTE corruption is a separate bug; this change makes the teardown path as robust as the fault path already is. Every other caller of lookup_swap_cgroup_id() is downstream of a get_swap_device() that has already validated the entry, so the new branch is cold.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem, specifically within the swap cgroup functionality. When a system is configured without swap, a corrupted page table entry (PTE) can lead to a null pointer dereference during process exit. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
