About this tag
The libceph tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Linux kernel's Ceph client library, focusing on security vulnerabilities and bug fixes. Recent threads detail CVEs such as CVE-2026-22991, which addresses a NULL pointer dereference in the cleanup routine free_choose_arg_map(), and CVE-2026-22984, which fixes an out-of-bounds read during authentication payload processing. Another thread covers CVE-2025-68283, which replaces fatal BUG_ON assertions with proper bounds checks for OSD indexes to prevent memory corruption. These topics are relevant for system administrators and developers managing Ceph distributed storage on Linux, particularly those concerned with kernel security and stability.

    CVE-2026-22991: Kernel Libceph Cleanup Fix Prevents NULL Pointer Crash

    A recently recorded Linux-kernel security entry, CVE-2026-22991, fixes a subtle but practical memory-safety bug in the kernel’s Ceph client library (libceph) by hardening the cleanup routine free_choose_arg_map() so it no longer dereferences NULL when its caller fails after a partial allocation...

    Linux Kernel Libceph Bounds Check Fix CVE-2026-22984: Patch and Impact

    The Linux kernel received a targeted, surgical fix on 23 January 2026 for a bounds‑checking bug in the Ceph client library (libceph) that could allow an out‑of‑bounds read during authentication processing; the issue has been assigned CVE‑2026‑22984 and is addressed by an explicit check on the...

    Kernel libceph CVE-2025-68283: From BUG_ON to safe OSD index bounds

    A quiet but consequential fix landed in the Linux kernel tree on December 16, 2025: a defensive coding change in the Ceph client library (libceph) replaced several fatal assertions with proper bounds checks to block untrusted OSD indexes from network packets — a change recorded as CVE-2025-68283...
