4) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1129)

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in ceph branches master, mimic, luminous and jewel due to improper handling of signature calculation by cephx authentication protocol. An adjacent attacker with access to ceph cluster network who is able to alter the message payload can bypass signature checks done by cephx protocol to conduct further attacks.
