High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.4.5
Description
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel, specifically in net/ceph/messenger v2.c, where an integer signedness error leads to a buffer overflow and remote code execution via HELLO or one of the AUTH frames. This occurs because of an untrusted length taken from a TCP packet in
ceph decode 32. The issue allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.4.5, update to version 6.4.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
ceph decode 32 function until a patch is available. Avoid using the ceph decode 32 function in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.Exploit
