commit d289478cfc0bcf81c7914200d6abdcb78bd04ded upstream.

A message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP contains an OSD map that itself
contains a CRUSH map. The received CRUSH map may optionally contain
choose_args that get decoded in decode_choose_args(). In this function,
num_choose_arg_maps is read from the message, and a corresponding number
of crush_choose_arg_maps gets decoded afterwards. Each
crush_choose_arg_map has a choose_args_index, which serves as the key
when inserting it into the choose_args rbtree of the decoded crush_map.
If a (potentially corrupted) message contains two crush_choose_arg_maps
with the same index, the assertion in insert_choose_arg_map() triggers a
kernel BUG when trying to insert the second crush_choose_arg_map.

This patch fixes the issue by switching to the non-asserting rbtree
insertion function and rejecting the message if the insertion fails.

commit 4c79fc2d598694bda845b46229c9d48b65042970 upstream.

A message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP containing a crush map with at least
one bucket has two fields holding the bucket algorithm. If the values
in these two fields differ, an out-of-bounds access can occur. This is
the case because the first algorithm field (alg) is used to allocate
the correct amount of memory for a bucket of this type, while the second
algorithm field inside the bucket (b-&gt;alg) is used in the subsequent
processing.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check that compares alg and
b-&gt;alg and aborts the processing in case they differ. Furthermore,
b-&gt;alg is set to 0 in this case, because the destruction of the crush
map also uses this field to determine the bucket type, which can again
result in an out-of-bounds access when trying to free the memory pointed
to by the fields of the bucket. To correctly free the memory allocated
for the bucket in such a case, the corresponding call to kfree is moved
from the algorithm-specific crush_destroy_bucket functions to the
generic crush_destroy_bucket().

commit 821365487aa58d06bda65c676ba215d506ba9768 upstream.

In __ceph_x_decrypt(), a part of the buffer p is interpreted as a
ceph_x_encrypt_header, and the magic field of this struct is accessed.
This happens without any guarantee that the buffer is large enough to
hold this struct. The function parameter ciphertext_len represents the
length of the ciphertext to decrypt and is guaranteed to be at most the
remaining size of the allocated buffer p. However, this value is not
necessarily greater than sizeof(ceph_x_encrypt_header). E.g., a message
frame of type FRAME_TAG_AUTH_REPLY_MORE, that is just as long to hold
the ciphertext at its end with a ciphertext_len of 8 or less, can
trigger an out-of-bounds memory access when accessing hdr-&gt;magic.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check to ensure that the
decrypted plaintext in the buffer is large enough to represent at least
the ceph_x_encrypt_header.

commit 28b0a2ab8c82d0bbdeb8013029c67c978ce6e4bf upstream.

A message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP contains an OSD map that itself
contains a CRUSH map. When decoding this CRUSH map in crush_decode(), an
array of max_buckets CRUSH buckets is decoded, where some indices may
not refer to actual buckets and are therefore set to NULL. The received
CRUSH map may optionally contain choose_args that get decoded in
decode_choose_args(). When decoding a crush_choose_arg_map, a series of
choose_args for different buckets is decoded, with the bucket_index
being read from the incoming message. It is only checked that the bucket
index does not exceed max_buckets, but not that it doesn't point to an
index with a NULL bucket. If a (potentially corrupted) message contains
a crush_choose_arg_map including such a bucket_index, a null pointer
dereference may occur in the subsequent processing when attempting to
access the bucket with the given index.

This patch fixes the issue by extending the affected check. Now, it is
only attempted to access the bucket if it is not NULL.

commit 35d0ed82d03e5ee77ea4f31f20e29562a7721649 upstream.

When decoding osd_state and osd_weight from an incoming osdmap in
osdmap_decode(), both are decoded for each osd, i.e., map-&gt;max_osd
times. The ceph_decode_need() check only accounts for
sizeof(*map-&gt;osd_weight) once. This can potentially result in an
out-of-bounds memory access if the incoming message is corrupted such
that the max_osd value exceeds the actual content of the osdmap message.

This patch fixes the issue by changing the corresponding part in the
ceph_decode_need() check to account for
map-&gt;max_osd*sizeof(*map-&gt;osd_weight).

commit 1c439de70b1c3eb3c6bffa8245c16b9fc318f114 upstream.

If a (potentially corrupted) message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY
contains a positive value in its result field, it is treated as an
error code by ceph_handle_auth_reply() and returned to
handle_auth_reply(). Thereafter, an attempt is made to send the
preallocated message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH, where the returned value is
interpreted as the size of the front segment to send. If the result
value in the message is greater than the size of the memory buffer
allocated for the front segment, an out-of-bounds access occurs, and
the content of the memory region beyond this buffer is sent out.

This patch fixes the issue by treating only negative values in the
result field as errors. Positive values are therefore treated as success
in the same way as a zero value. Additionally, a BUG_ON is added to
__send_prepared_auth_request() comparing the len parameter to
front_alloc_len to prevent sending the message if it exceeds the bounds
of the allocation and to make it easier to catch any logic flaws leading
to this.

commit 5199c125d25aeae8615c4fc31652cc0fe624338e upstream.

If a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY contains a zero value for both
protocol and result, this is currently not treated as an error. In case
of ac-&gt;negotiating == true and ac-&gt;protocol &gt; 0, this leads to setting
ac-&gt;protocol = 0 and ac-&gt;ops = NULL. Thereafter, the check for
ac-&gt;protocol != protocol returns false, and init_protocol() is not
called. Subsequently, ac-&gt;ops-&gt;handle_reply() is called, which leads to
a null pointer dereference, because ac-&gt;ops is still NULL.

This patch changes the check for ac-&gt;protocol != protocol to
!ac-&gt;protocol, as this also includes the case when the protocol was set
to zero in the message. This causes the message to be treated as
containing a bad auth protocol.

This patch fixes an out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
that can be triggered by a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY. In
ceph_handle_auth_reply(), the value of the payload_len field of such a
message is stored in a variable of type int. A value greater than
INT_MAX leads to an integer overflow and is interpreted as a negative
value. This leads to decrementing the pointer address by this value and
subsequently accessing it because ceph_decode_need() only checks that
the memory access does not exceed the end address of the allocation.

This patch fixes the issue by changing the data type of payload_len to
u32. Additionally, the data type of result_msg_len is changed to u32,
as it is also a variable holding a non-negative length.

Also, an additional layer of sanity checks is introduced, ensuring that
directly after reading it from the message, payload_len and
result_msg_len are not greater than the overall segment length.

This patch fixes an out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
that can be triggered by a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY. In
ceph_handle_auth_reply(), the value of the payload_len field of such a
message is stored in a variable of type int. A value greater than
INT_MAX leads to an integer overflow and is interpreted as a negative
value. This leads to decrementing the pointer address by this value and
subsequently accessing it because ceph_decode_need() only checks that
the memory access does not exceed the end address of the allocation.

This patch fixes the issue by changing the data type of payload_len to
u32. Additionally, the data type of result_msg_len is changed to u32,
as it is also a variable holding a non-negative length.

Also, an additional layer of sanity checks is introduced, ensuring that
directly after reading it from the message, payload_len and
result_msg_len are not greater than the overall segment length.

<title>libceph: Use u32 for non-negative values in ceph_monmap_decode()</title>

This patch fixes unnecessary implicit conversions that change signedness
of blob_len and num_mon in ceph_monmap_decode().
Currently blob_len and num_mon are (signed) int variables. They are used
to hold values that are always non-negative and get assigned in
ceph_decode_32_safe(), which is meant to assign u32 values. Both
variables are subsequently used as unsigned values, and the value of
num_mon is further assigned to monmap-&gt;num_mon, which is of type u32.
Therefore, both variables should be of type u32. This is especially
relevant for num_mon. If the value read from the incoming message is
very large, it is interpreted as a negative value, and the check for
num_mon &gt; CEPH_MAX_MON does not catch it. This leads to the attempt to
allocate a very large chunk of memory for monmap, which will most likely
fail. In this case, an unnecessary attempt to allocate memory is
performed, and -ENOMEM is returned instead of -EINVAL.

<title>libceph: reject preamble if control segment is empty</title>

While head_onwire_len() has a branch to handle ctrl_len == 0 case,
prepare_read_control() always sets up a kvec for the CRC meaning that
a non-empty control segment is effectively assumed.  All frames that
clients deal with meet that assumption, so let's make it official and
treat the preamble with an empty control segment as malformed.
