Vulnerability from cvelistv5

Severity ?
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: define and enforce CEPH_MAX_KEY_LEN When decoding the key, verify that the key material would fit into a fixed-size buffer in process_auth_done() and generally has a sane length. The new CEPH_MAX_KEY_LEN check replaces the existing check for a key with no key material which is a) not universal since CEPH_CRYPTO_NONE has to be excluded and b) doesn't provide much value since a smaller than needed key is just as invalid as no key -- this has to be handled elsewhere anyway.

Even though CephX payloads are cryptographic, a malicious configured/compromised peer can trigger the path remotely.\nUI:N - No interactive victim action is required once the vulnerable client connects to the Ceph peer as part of normal operation. The malicious AUTH_DONE response is processed automatically by the kernel client.\nS:U - The impact is compromise or crash of the same kernel/client security authority that contains the vulnerable libceph code. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - The bug is attacker-controlled kernel stack memory corruption from copying an unchecked session key into a fixed-size stack buffer. Such memory corruption can reasonably be leveraged for sensitive kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The unchecked memcpy can overwrite adjacent kernel stack state with attacker-controlled key bytes. This is an out-of-bounds write with plausible control-flow or data corruption impact.\nA:H - The stack overflow can corrupt kernel execution state and cause an oops or panic. Even without full exploitation, a malicious peer can crash the client kernel."

A malicious or compromised Ceph endpoint can supply the crafted AUTH_DONE payload over the network.\\nAC:L - Once the attacker can act as the responding Ceph peer, the oversized decoded session key is a deterministic protocol field and no race or hard-to-control condition is required. The stack overwrite follows directly from the key length accepted before the fix.\\nPR:N - The attacker needs no local privileges on the victim kernel; the code is reached during the network authentication handshake before the connection is fully established. Even though CephX payloads are cryptographic, a malicious configured/compromised peer can trigger the path remotely.\\nUI:N - No interactive victim action is required once the vulnerable client connects to the Ceph peer as part of normal operation. The malicious AUTH_DONE response is processed automatically by the kernel client.\\nS:U - The impact is compromise or crash of the same kernel/client security authority that contains the vulnerable libceph code. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-scope boundary violation.\\nC:H - The bug is attacker-controlled kernel stack memory corruption from copying an unchecked session key into a fixed-size stack buffer. Such memory corruption can reasonably be leveraged for sensitive kernel memory disclosure.\\nI:H - The unchecked memcpy can overwrite adjacent kernel stack state with attacker-controlled key bytes. This is an out-of-bounds write with plausible control-flow or data corruption impact.\\nA:H - The stack overflow can corrupt kernel execution state and cause an oops or panic. Even without full exploitation, a malicious peer can crash the client kernel.\"}]}], \"affected\": [{\"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\", \"vendor\":
