to the kernel Ceph client in CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP over TCP from a monitor or OSD peer, stored in libceph, and later triggers get_immediate_parent() during localized-read target selection on RBD/CephFS client I/O.\nAC:L - A compromised or attacker-controlled Ceph monitor can publish an osdmap whose CRUSH buckets have names but missing type_names entries; once applied, the NULL dereference is reliably hit on subsequent localize-read calc_target() paths without further attacker-controlled timing.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires no privileges on the victim host; any machine acting as a kernel Ceph client that receives a forged osdmap from a cluster peer over the network can be attacked without local capabilities or user-namespace tricks.\nUI:N - No victim user action is needed at exploitation time beyond the host already being a Ceph client with localized reads enabled; forged osdmaps are applied automatically and the crash fires on subsequent kernel client read or map-rescan operations.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel memory on the Ceph client host (crash or potential escalation within that host); it does not cross VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundaries to other security authorities.\nC:N - The failure is a NULL pointer dereference when accessing type_cn->cn_name; there is no out-of-bounds read, use-after-free, or other memory corruption that could disclose kernel data.\nI:N - The bug causes a NULL pointer dereference crash only; no attacker-controlled write, heap corruption, or control-flow hijack primitive is created by this defect.\nA:H - The NULL pointer dereference in get_immediate_parent() during CRUSH locality lookup causes a kernel oops or panic, denying all service on the affected Ceph client host." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux",
