{"id":"AZL-88563","summary":"CVE-2026-46024 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.141.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nlibceph: Prevent potential null-ptr-deref in ceph_handle_auth_reply()\n\nIf a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY contains a zero value for both\nprotocol and result, this is currently not treated as an error. In case\nof ac-\u003enegotiating == true and ac-\u003eprotocol \u003e 0, this leads to setting\nac-\u003eprotocol = 0 and ac-\u003eops = NULL. Thereafter, the check for\nac-\u003eprotocol != protocol returns false, and init_protocol() is not\ncalled. Subsequently, ac-\u003eops-\u003ehandle_reply() is called, which leads to\na null pointer dereference, because ac-\u003eops is still NULL.\n\nThis patch changes the check for ac-\u003eprotocol != protocol to\n!ac-\u003eprotocol, as this also includes the case when the protocol was set\nto zero in the message. This causes the message to be treated as\ncontaining a bad auth protocol.","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:38.995586554Z","published":"2026-05-27T14:17:20Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-46024"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-46024"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.141.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-88563.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
