{"id":"AZL-90500","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:\n\nlibceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in crush_decode()\n\nA message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP containing a crush map with at least\none bucket has two fields holding the bucket algorithm. If the values\nin these two fields differ, an out-of-bounds access can occur. This is\nthe case because the first algorithm field (alg) is used to allocate\nthe correct amount of memory for a bucket of this type, while the second\nalgorithm field inside the bucket (b-\u003ealg) is used in the subsequent\nprocessing.\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and\nb-\u003ealg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore,\nb-\u003ealg is set to 0 in this case, because the destruction of the crush\nmap also uses this field to determine the bucket type, which can again\nresult in an out-of-bounds access when trying to free the memory pointed\nto by the fields of the bucket. To correctly free the memory allocated\nfor the bucket in such a case, the corresponding call to kfree is moved\nfrom the algorithm-specific crush_destroy_bucket functions to the\ngeneric crush_destroy_bucket().","modified":"2026-08-28T17:48:11.689179566Z","published":"2026-06-24T17:17:05Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-52955"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-52955"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.143.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-90500.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
