Hi Greg and Jiri,

The following patch commit ee53664bda169f519ce3c6a22d378f0b946c8178

mm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support

fix CVE-2014-8173. I wish you could merge this fix into stable 3.10
and 3.12, because the linux kernel before 3.13 on NUMA systems
is affected by it.
