MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 4.9.x < 4.9.1 - Denial of Service via SMB Hash Scatterlist Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

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.
