Summary
CVE-2026-52955 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.143.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in crush_decode()

A message of type CEPHMSGOSD_MAP containing a crush map with at least one bucket has two fields holding the bucket algorithm. If the values in these two fields differ, an out-of-bounds access can occur. This is the case because the first algorithm field (alg) is used to allocate the correct amount of memory for a bucket of this type, while the second algorithm field inside the bucket (b->alg) is used in the subsequent processing.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and b->alg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore, b->alg is set to 0 in this case, because the destruction of the crush map also uses this field to determine the bucket type, which can again result in an out-of-bounds access when trying to free the memory pointed to by the fields of the bucket. To correctly free the memory allocated for the bucket in such a case, the corresponding call to kfree is moved from the algorithm-specific crushdestroybucket functions to the generic crushdestroybucket().
