{"id":"AZL-90276","summary":"CVE-2026-52956 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nlibceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in __ceph_x_decrypt()\n\nIn __ceph_x_decrypt(), a part of the buffer p is interpreted as a\nceph_x_encrypt_header, and the magic field of this struct is accessed.\nThis happens without any guarantee that the buffer is large enough to\nhold this struct. The function parameter ciphertext_len represents the\nlength of the ciphertext to decrypt and is guaranteed to be at most the\nremaining size of the allocated buffer p. However, this value is not\nnecessarily greater than sizeof(ceph_x_encrypt_header). E.g., a message\nframe of type FRAME_TAG_AUTH_REPLY_MORE, that is just as long to hold\nthe ciphertext at its end with a ciphertext_len of 8 or less, can\ntrigger an out-of-bounds memory access when accessing hdr-\u003emagic.\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by adding a check to ensure that the\ndecrypted plaintext in the buffer is large enough to represent at least\nthe ceph_x_encrypt_header.","modified":"2026-09-09T05:29:25Z","published":"2026-06-24T17:17:05Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-52956"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-52956"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-90276.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
