{"cve":"CVE-2026-52955","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-24T17:17:05.670","modified":"2026-10-19T20:18:50.527","status":"Modified","description":"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->alg) is used in the subsequent\nprocessing.\n\nThis patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and\nb->alg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore,\nb->alg 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().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-125","CWE-131"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0f3604cbe4df14c5e58288ac9f57511e726a222d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3f42508191e129ee6b5ea96578d5cab14f2a013a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4c79fc2d598694bda845b46229c9d48b65042970","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e70ef53e818c53eab28d7b0026b7fd03dddaba5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cceb10023e76bc89f3fe9238ebd0ccab0fc7c7c5"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-52955","score":0.0038,"percentile":0.31731,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
