Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: Avoid using invalid osd indices from primary_temp

A corrupted osdmap received from a Ceph monitor or OSD may contain osd

indices in its pg_temp, primary_temp, pg_upmap, and pg_upmap_items parts

that don't exist, i.e., that are greater than max_osd or smaller than

CEPH_HOMELESS_OSD (-1). These indices are used to create the up and

acting set in ceph_pg_to_up_acting_osds(), called from calc_target().

While most of these osd indices are checked, the one from primary_temp

is not. Subsequently, this may lead to calc_target() returning this

(potentially invalid) index as target osd for a (linger) request.

Because the osd_state, osd_weight, and osd_addr arrays only contain

max_osd entries (with indices 0 to max_osd -1), this leads to

out-of-bounds accesses when trying to read values from these arrays.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check to get_temp_osds(), so that

only valid osd indices from primary_temp

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80558?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80558 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
