CVE-2026-68158

Summary

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

libceph: Fix multiplication overflow in decode_new_up_state_weight()

If a message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP contains a (maliciously) corrupted osdmap, out-of-bounds memory accesses may occur in decode_new_up_state_weight(). This happens because the bounds check for the new_state part is based on calculating its length depending on a len value read from the incoming message. This calculation may overflow leading to an incorrect bounds check. Subsequently, out-of-bounds reads may occur when decoding this part.

This patch switches the multiplication to use check_mul_overflow() to abort processing the osdmap if an overflow occurred. Therefore, osdmaps/messages containing large values for len that result in a multiplication overflow are treated as invalid.

[ idryomov: rename new_state_len -> new_state_item_size, formatting ]
