CVE-2026-68159

libceph: bound pg_{temp,upmap,upmap_items} length to CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE

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

libceph: bound pg{temp,upmap,upmapitems} length to CEPHPGMAX_SIZE

_decodepg_temp() decodes an user-controlled length but only rejects

values large enough to overflow the allocation; it does not bound it to

CEPHPGMAXSIZE. The helper backs both pgtemp and pg_upmap decoding, and

applyupmap()/gettemp_osds() later copy the decoded list into the fixed-size

on-stack array struct cephosds.osds[CEPHPGMAXSIZE]. A monitor that sends

an OSDMap with a pgtemp/pgupmap entry longer than 32 thus causes a stack

out-of-bounds write.

An OSD set for a single PG can never exceed CEPHPGMAX_SIZE, so reject longer

entries at decode time. The bound is well below the old overflow threshold, so

it also covers the allocation-size overflow the previous check guarded against.
