If the values\nin these two fields differ, an out-of-bounds access can occur. This is\nthe case because the first algorithm field (alg) is used to allocate\nthe correct amount of memory for a bucket of this type, while the second\nalgorithm field inside the bucket (b->alg) is used in the subsequent\nprocessing.\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and\nb->alg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore,\nb->alg is set to 0 in this case, because the destruction of the crush\nmap also uses this field to determine the bucket type, which can again\nresult in an out-of-bounds access when trying to free the memory pointed\nto by the fields of the bucket. To correctly free the memory allocated\nfor the bucket in such a case, the corresponding call to kfree is moved\nfrom the algorithm-specific crush_destroy_bucket functions to the\ngeneric crush_destroy_bucket()." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 9.8, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL" },

attacker controlling a malicious or compromised Ceph peer can choose the two bucket algorithm fields and map contents directly; no race or external timing condition is required.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no privileges on the vulnerable kernel client; the higher-severity reasonable scenario is a malicious or compromised remote Ceph monitor/OSD sending the map.\nUI:N - Once the Ceph client is mounted or an RBD client is connected, OSD map updates are processed automatically without per-attack user action.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in the client kernel and impacts that same kernel security authority, with no VM, IOMMU, or other scope boundary crossed.\nC:H - The mismatch can make the parser/destructor interpret a smaller allocation as a larger bucket type, causing kernel heap out-of-bounds pointer accesses; such memory corruption is reasonably exploitable for information disclosure.\nI:H - The bug can write pointer fields beyond the allocated bucket object and later free through the wrong layout, creating kernel heap corruption with potential control-flow or data integrity compromise.\nA:H - Malformed OSD maps can corrupt kernel memory or trigger invalid frees/oopses, making a kernel crash or denial of service a high-probability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
