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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Linux kernel 4.9.x flaw where a local user may crash or corrupt kernel memory on systems built with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK. The documented impact is denial of service, with possible unspecified other impact. It matters mainly for multi-user or shared Linux systems that ran kernels before 4.9.1. Exposure appears limited to Linux kernel 4.9.x before 4.9.1, especially builds with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK enabled. The source bundle does not identify specific distributions or products beyond the upstream Linux kernel. Treat as a targeted operational stability risk, not a confirmed remote compromise issue. Patch affected Linux 4.9.x systems during normal urgent maintenance, with higher priority for shared systems where untrusted local users exist. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Linux 4.9.x kernels to 4.9.1 or vendor-supported fixed builds.; Check distribution advisories before applying upstream kernel changes directly.; Reduce unnecessary local shell access on potentially affected hosts..
