CVE-2016-10154
Last modified
CVE-2016-10154 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.45% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
