Vulnerability: Buffer overflow in net/ceph/auth_x.c in Ceph, as used in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long unencrypted auth ticket.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2014-6416
CWE: CWE-119
Severity score: 6.9
Project: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Published: 2014-09-28
File: net/ceph/auth_x.c
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.
