Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
libceph: Reject monmaps advertising zero monitors<br />
<br />
A message of type CEPH_MSG_MON_MAP contains a monmap that is sent from a<br />
monitor to the client. This monmap contains information about the<br />
existing monitors in the cluster. Currently, a monmap indicating that<br />
there are zero monitors in the cluster is treated as valid. However, it<br />
is impossible to have zero monitors in the cluster and still receive a<br />
valid monmap from a monitor. Therefore, such a monmap must be corrupted<br />
and should be treated as invalid. Furthermore, a monmap with a monitor<br />
count of zero can subsequently crash the client when attempting to open<br />
a session with a monitor in __open_session(). This happens because the<br />
"BUG_ON(monc->monmap->num_mon CEPH_MAX_MON.<br />

[ idryomov: drop "log output for unusual values of num_mon" part ]
