Apple Mac OSX Kernel - NULL Dereference, unchecked return valu

Code
/*
Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=777

Pretty much all the external methods of CoreCaptureUserClient call CoreCaptureUserClient::stashGet passing an attacker controlled key.

If that key isn't in the list of stashed objects then stashGet returns a NULL pointer. No callers actually check
the return value though which leads immediately to a call to a virtual method on a NULL pointer. By mapping the NULL
page we can get trivial RIP control.

Tested on OS X 10.11.4 (15E65) on MacBookAir 5,2
