A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Ceph client. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the handle_session() function when decoding MDSCapAuth records. A malicious or compromised Metadata Server (MDS) can trigger this during session setup without client-side user interaction. This can force the kernel client to read past the message buffer, leading to a client crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).
