CVE-2014-6418: Resource Management Errors (CWE-399)
value: net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, does not properly validate auth replies, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data from the IP address of a Ceph Monitor.
CWE description: Weaknesses in this category are related to improper management of system resources.

Commit message: libceph: do not hard code max auth ticket len

We hard code cephx auth ticket buffer size to 256 bytes.  This isn't
enough for any moderate setups and, in case tickets themselves are not
encrypted, leads to buffer overflows (ceph_x_decrypt() errors out, but
ceph_decode_copy() doesn't - it's just a memcpy() wrapper).  Since the
buffer is allocated dynamically anyway, allocated it a bit later, at
the point where we know how much is going to be needed.
