CVE-2026-43405
libceph: Use u32 for non-negative values in ceph_monmap_decode()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Use u32 for non-negative values in ceph_monmap_decode()
This patch fixes unnecessary implicit conversions that change signedness
of blob_len and num_mon in ceph_monmap_decode().
Currently blob_len and num_mon are (signed) int variables. They are used
to hold values that are always non-negative and get assigned in
ceph_decode_32_safe(), which is meant to assign u32 values. Both
variables are subsequently used as unsigned values, and the value of
num_mon is further assigned to monmap->num_mon, which is of type u32.
Therefore, both variables should be of type u32. This is especially
relevant for num_mon. If the value read from the incoming message is
very large, it is interpreted as a negative value, and the check for
num_mon > CEPH_MAX_MON does not catch it. This leads to the attempt to
allocate a very large chunk of memory for monmap, which will most likely
fail. In this case, an unnecessary attempt to allocate memory is
performed, and -ENOMEM is returned instead of -EINVAL.
