CVE-2023-53621 (2023)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

memcontrol: ensure memcg acquired by id is properly set up

In the eviction recency check, we attempt to retrieve the memcg to which
the folio belonged when it was evicted, by the memcg id stored in the
shadow entry.  However, there is a chance that the retrieved memcg is not
the original memcg that has been killed, but a new one which happens to
have the same id.

This is a somewhat unfortunate, but acceptable and rare inaccuracy in the
heuristics.  However, if we retrieve this new memcg between its allocation
and when it is properly attached to the memcg hierarchy, we could run into
the following NULL pointer exception during the memcg hierarchy traversal
done in mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages():
