High [CVE-2026-68159] Linux kernel: libceph stack out-of-bounds write via crafted OSDMap
CVE-2026-68159Source published Source updated
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: bound pg_{temp,upmap,upmap_items} length to CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE __decode_pg_temp() decodes an user-controlled length but only rejects values large enough to overflow the allocation; it does not bound it to CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE. The helper backs both pg_temp and pg_upmap decoding, and apply_upmap()/get_temp_osds() later copy the decoded list into the fixed-size on-stack array struct ceph_osds.osds[CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE]. A monitor that sends an OSDMap with a pg_temp/pg_upmap entry longer than 32 thus causes a stack out-of-bounds write. An OSD set for a single PG can never exceed CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE, so reject longer entries at decode time. The bound is well below the old overflow threshold, so it also covers the allocation-size…

- Mitigation guidance
- If the system does not require the `libceph` module for Ceph cluster connectivity, prevent the `ceph` kernel module from loading by blacklisting it. Create a file `/etc/modprobe.d/ceph.conf` with the content `blacklist ceph`. After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs using `dracut -f -v` and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. If `libceph` is in use, restrict network access to Ceph monitors to trusted hosts through firewall rules to reduce the attack surface.
