| Name | CVE-2026-90067 |
| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: validate banner payload length When parsing the Ceph messenger v2 protocol banner, the `payload_len` field is decoded from the banner prefix. If a client sends a banner with a `payload_len` of 0, the kernel sets up a 0-length socket read. This violates an invariant in the state machine, triggering a warning in `populate_in_iter()`: ------------[ cut here ]------------ !iov_iter_count(&con->v2.in_iter) WARNING: net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:3129 at populate_in_iter net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:3129 [inline], CPU#1: kworker/1:3/5070 WARNING: net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:3129 at ceph_con_v2_try_read+0x6634/0x6810 net/ceph/messenger_v2.c:3159, CPU#1: kworker/1:3/5070 ...

Therefore, `payload_len` must be at least 16 bytes. Fix this by adding a check in `process_banner_prefix()` to reject a `payload_len` smaller than 16 bytes. This prevents the 0-length read and correctly aborts the connection with a protocol error. |
