CVE-2024-53685

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> ceph: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAX<br /> <br /> If the full path to be built by ceph_mdsc_build_path() happens to be<br /> longer than PATH_MAX, then this function will enter an endless (retry)<br /> loop, effectively blocking the whole task. Most of the machine<br /> becomes unusable, making this a very simple and effective DoS<br /> vulnerability.<br /> <br /> I cannot imagine why this retry was ever implemented, but it seems<br /> rather useless and harmful to me. Let&amp;#39;s remove it and fail with<br /> ENAMETOOLONG instead.
