  "details" : "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nceph: bound num_export_targets array for mds info v2/v3\n\nceph_mdsmap_decode() in fs/ceph/mdsmap.c reads num_export_targets from\neach per-mds info record and advances the decode cursor by\nnum_export_targets * sizeof(u32) without first checking that many bytes\nremain. The only upper-bound check that catches a runaway cursor\n(*p > info_end) is gated on info_v >= 4, because info_end is left NULL\nfor info_v 2 and 3. When the monitor sends an MDS map whose per-mds\ninfo version is 2 or 3 with an oversized num_export_targets, the cursor\nmoves past the message front buffer and the later export-targets loop\ncalls the unchecked ceph_decode_32() on out-of-bounds memory.\n\nA kernel client processes CEPH_MSG_MDS_MAP from its monitor session\n(net/ceph/mon_client.c dispatches it; fs/ceph/super.c routes it to\nceph_mdsc_handle_mdsmap(), which sets end to the front buffer bound and\ncalls ceph_mdsmap_decode()). A malicious or compromised monitor, or an\non-path attacker on an unsigned/unencrypted messenger session, can\ntherefore drive an out-of-bounds read in the client kernel; on x86_64\nwith KASAN it is reported as a slab-out-of-bounds read in\nceph_mdsmap_decode(). The decoded values land in the internal\ninfo->export_targets[] array, so the consequence is a kernel\nout-of-bounds read, not an information leak to the attacker.\n\nImpact: a malicious or compromised Ceph monitor sending an MDS map with\na per-mds info version of 2 or 3 and an oversized num_export_targets\nfield triggers an out-of-bounds read in the CephFS client kernel.\n\nAdd a ceph_decode_need() for the export-targets array before advancing\nthe cursor, so the bound is enforced for every info_v >= 2, not only\ninfo_v >= 4. This mirrors the count-then-need idiom already used for\nm_data_pg_pools later in the same function.\n\nCompute the export-targets byte count with size_mul() and reuse that\nchecked length when advancing the cursor, so the attacker-controlled\nnum_export_targets multiplication fails closed on overflow rather than\nrelying on the later kcalloc() guard.",
