libceph: prevent potential out-of-bounds reads in process_message_header()

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 01.05.2026 Published: 08.05.2026 Updated: 09.05.2026

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

libceph: prevent potential out-of-bounds reads in process_message_header()

If the message frame is (maliciously) corrupted in a way that the length of the control segment ends up being less than the size of the message header or a different frame is made to look like a message frame, out-of-bounds reads may ensue in process_message_header().

Perform an explicit bounds check before decoding the message header.
