Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80527)

CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in __ceph_get_caps() when handling Ceph capability revocation and reacquisition. A remote attacker can trigger conflicting operations that leave stale mds_wanted state and cause a reader to wait indefinitely to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when a cap update requesting FILE_RD does not reach the MDS after mds_wanted has been raised, leaving the client without the wanted file read capability while local state still indicates it is wanted.
