drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x before 4.9.11 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 DMA scatterlist.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Linux kernel driver flaw affecting 4.9.x kernels before 4.9.11. A local user could crash the system or corrupt memory when the rtl8150 USB network driver interacts with VMAP stack behavior. The business impact is mainly availability risk on older Linux systems. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux 4.9.x systems before 4.9.11, especially where CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is enabled and rtl8150 USB Ethernet support is present. Modern distribution kernels may already carry the fix, but backport status must be verified per vendor kernel build. Treat this as a targeted legacy-kernel remediation item. It is not currently supported as internet-exploited, but it can cause outages where affected kernels and local access exist. Prioritize shared servers, multi-user systems, and operational appliances running old Linux 4.9.x builds. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Linux 4.9.x kernels to 4.9.11 or a vendor-patched kernel.; Check distribution advisories for backported fixes containing commit 7926aff5c57b.; Reduce local shell access on affected systems until remediation is complete..
