CVE-2016-10154 (CCN-127919)

Assigned:2017-01-24
Published:2017-01-24
Updated:2017-02-09
Summary:The smbhash function in fs/cifs/smbencrypt.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x before 4.9.1 interacts incorrectly with the CONFIG_VMAP_STACK option, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging use of more than one virtual page for a scatterlist.
