Subject: [PATCH 3/9] ceph: fix mdsmap use-after-free in __ceph_setxattr()
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:18:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111161830.1336485-4-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111161830.1336485-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com>
__ceph_setxattr() reads mdsc->mdsmap->m_max_xattr_size while holding
only ci->i_ceph_lock, but ceph_mdsc_handle_mdsmap() replaces the
mdsmap and frees the old one under mdsc->mutex. A setxattr() racing
with an mdsmap update can therefore read freed memory.
mdsc->mutex cannot be taken under i_ceph_lock, so keep a copy of the
limit in struct ceph_mds_client, updated by ceph_mdsc_handle_mdsmap()
under the mutex, and read that instead.
Fixes: d93231a6bc8a ("ceph: prevent a client from exceeding the MDS maximum xattr size")
