CVE-2026-89653
Published Sep 11, 2026
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: reject export_targets ranks >= CEPH_MAX_MDS in mdsmap decode MDSMap export_targets entries are monitor controlled. check_new_map() uses each entry as a bit number in a fixed stack bitmap, so a rank outside the protocol namespace can make set_bit() write past the end of the array. Reject ranks outside CEPH_MAX_MDS while decoding the map. Do not validate against possible_max_rank here because maps may legitimately reference ranks beyond a temporarily reduced max_mds.

What is CVE-2026-89653? +
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: reject export_targets ranks >= CEPH_MAX_MDS in mdsmap decode
MDSMap export_targets entries are monitor controlled. check_new_map()
uses each entry as a bit number in a fixed stack bitmap, so a rank
outside the protocol namespace can make set_bit() write past the end of
the array.
Reject ranks outside CEPH_MAX_MDS while decoding the map. Do not
validate against possible_max_rank here because maps may legitimately
reference ranks beyond a temporarily reduced max_mds.
