DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: prevent potential out-of-bounds reads in handle_auth_done()

Perform an explicit bounds check on payload_len to avoid a possible out-of-bounds access in the callout.

[ idryomov: changelog ]

AnalysisAI

A bounds checking vulnerability in the Linux kernel's libceph authentication handler allows local attackers with user privileges to trigger out-of-bounds memory reads, potentially leading to information disclosure or denial of service. The flaw exists in the handle_auth_done() function which fails to properly validate payload length before processing authentication data. A patch is available to address this vulnerability.
