Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.19-rc4. This vulnerability affects the function calc_target of the component libceph. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a state issue vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-371. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: make calc_target() set t->paused, not just clear it Currently calc_target() clears t->paused if the request shouldn't be paused anymore, but doesn't ever set t->paused even though it's able to determine when the request should be paused. Setting t->paused is left to __submit_request() which is fine for regular requests but doesn't work for linger requests -- since __submit_request() doesn't operate on linger requests, there is nowhere for lreq->t.paused to be set. One consequence of this is that watches don't get reestablished on paused -> unpaused transitions in cases where requests have been paused long enough for the (paused) unwatch request to time out and for the subsequent (re)watch request to enter the paused state. On top of the watch not getting reestablished, rbd_reregister_watch() gets stuck with rbd_dev->watch_mutex held: rbd_register_watch __rbd_register_watch ceph_osdc_watch linger_reg_commit_wait It's waiting for lreq->reg_commit_wait to be completed, but for that to happen the respective request needs to end up on need_resend_linger list and be kicked when requests are unpaused. There is no chance for that if the request in question is never marked paused in the first place. The fact that rbd_dev->watch_mutex remains taken out forever then prevents the image from getting unmapped -- "rbd unmap" would inevitably hang in D state on an attempt to grab the mutex.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-23047 since 01/13/2026. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 04/30/2026).

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 297882 (Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-23047), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 6.1.161, 6.6.121, 6.12.66, 6.18.6 or 6.19-rc5 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 2b3329b3c29d9e188e40d902d5230c2d5989b940/5d0dc83cb9a69c1d0bea58f1c430199b05f6b021/4d3399c52e0e61720ae898f5a0b5b75d4460ae24/4ebc711b738d139cabe2fc9e7e7749847676a342/6f468f6ff233c6a81e0e761d9124e982903fe9a5/5647d42c47b535573b63e073e91164d6a5bb058c/c0fe2994f9a9d0a2ec9e42441ea5ba74b6a16176 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at git.kernel.org. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
