CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the Ceph storage system, where invalid object storage device (OSD) indices from corrupted osdmap data can lead to out-of-bounds memory accesses during the calculation of target OSDs. This flaw may result in potential system instability or crashes when invalid indices are used in operations. Organizations utilizing Ceph in their Linux environments should prioritize applying the patch to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: Avoid using invalid osd indices from primary_temp A corrupted osdmap received from a Ceph monitor or OSD may contain osd indices in its pg_temp, primary_temp, pg_upmap, and pg_upmap_items parts that don't exist, i.e., that are greater than max_osd or smaller than CEPH_HOMELESS_OSD (-1). These indices are used to create the up and acting set in ceph_pg_to_up_acting_osds(), called from calc_target(). While most of these osd indices are checked, the one from primary_temp is not. Subsequently, this may lead to calc_target() returning this (potentially invalid) index as target osd for a (linger) request. Because the osd_state, osd_weight, and osd_addr arrays only contain max_osd entries (with indices 0 to max_osd -1), this leads to out-of-bounds accesses when trying to read values from these arrays. This patch fixes the issue by adding a check to get_temp_osds(), so that only valid osd indices from primary_temp are used, and it falls back to using the primary from pg_temp or the up set if it is invalid.
