Summary

In the Linux kernel RBD driver, a positive result code in a reply to an object map update is not reset to zero, which can trigger an assertion and crash the system. The fix resets the positive result code to zero and adds a WARN_ON_ONCE.

Risk Assessment

A remote attacker could send a corrupted reply to an object map update request, causing a kernel panic and disruption of services using RBD.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-68131. If not possible, restrict access to RBD services to trusted networks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rbd: Reset positive result codes to zero in object map update path In a reply message to an RBD request, a positive result code indicates a data payload, which is not allowed for writes. While rbd_osd_req_callback() already resets a positive result code for writes to zero, rbd_object_map_callback() does not. This allows a corrupted reply to an object map update to trigger the rbd_assert(*result < 0) in __rbd_obj_handle_request(). This happens, because rbd_object_map_callback() calls rbd_obj_handle_request() -> __rbd_obj_handle_request() and passes this positive result code. From __rbd_obj_handle_request(), rbd_obj_advance_write() is called, which leaves the positive result code unchanged and returns true. Therefore, the if(done && *result) branch is executed in __rbd_obj_handle_request() and the assertion triggers. This patch fixes the issue by adjusting the logic in the rbd_object_map_callback() path. A positive result code for an object map update is now reset to zero (similar to rbd_osd_req_callback()), and the message is subsequently handled the same way as if the result code was zero from the beginning. Additionally, a WARN_ON_ONCE() is added for this case.
