The helper backs both pg_temp and pg_upmap decoding, and\napply_upmap()/get_temp_osds() later copy the decoded list into the fixed-size\non-stack array struct ceph_osds.osds[CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE]. A monitor that sends\nan OSDMap with a pg_temp/pg_upmap entry longer than 32 thus causes a stack\nout-of-bounds write.\n\nAn OSD set for a single PG can never exceed CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE, so reject longer\nentries at decode time. The bound is well below the old overflow threshold, so\nit also covers the allocation-size overflow the previous check guarded against.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ceph_pg_to_up_acting_osds\n  Write of size 4 ... by task exploit\n   kasan_report (mm/kasan/report.c:595)\n   ceph_pg_to_up_acting_osds (net/ceph/osdmap.c:2617 net/ceph/osdmap.c:2833)\n   calc_target (net/ceph/osd_client.c:1638)\n   __submit_request (net/ceph/osd_client.c:2394)\n   ceph_osdc_start_request (net/ceph/osd_client.c:2490)\n   ceph_osdc_call (net/ceph/osd_client.c:5164)\n   rbd_dev_image_probe (drivers/block/rbd.c:6899)\n   do_rbd_add (drivers/block/rbd.c:7138)\n   ...\n  kernel BUG at net/ceph/osdmap.c:2670!\n\n[ idryomov: do the same in __decode_pg_upmap_items() ]","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-121"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/42bc06c67d94d5f2a6b33294b0c4b07d8a47c515","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4daf06456677177f2a6044729abac59c1b49e87b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/590b07ceea138d49c9b64f65d263aa902d3b4730","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/66eec4af1e080b695229c9a20635648a6d12fedf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f00f9cf2be293efe899db67dc5272e3a9c62717"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:56:58.798400159+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-68159","score":0.00745,"percentile":0.54509,"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).
