Title
libceph: make free_choose_arg_map() resilient to partial allocation
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: make free_choose_arg_map() resilient to partial allocation
free_choose_arg_map() may dereference a NULL pointer if its caller fails
after a partial allocation.
For example, in decode_choose_args(), if allocation of arg_map->args
fails, execution jumps to the fail label and free_choose_arg_map() is
called. Since arg_map->size is updated to a non-zero value before memory
allocation, free_choose_arg_map() will iterate over arg_map->args and
dereference a NULL pointer.
To prevent this potential NULL pointer dereference and make
free_choose_arg_map() more resilient, add checks for pointers before
iterating.

"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable decoder is reached through Ceph `CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP` messages received over the network from monitor or OSD peers. A remote peer that can supply a crafted OSD/CRUSH map can drive execution into `decode_choose_args()` and `free_choose_arg_map()`.\nAC:L - There is no race or timing requirement; the attacker controls the encoded CRUSH choose-arg sizes and can force allocation failure with oversized fields. Cleanup then deterministically dereferences a NULL `args` or `weight_set` pointer in the vulnerable code.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no local privileges on the vulnerable kernel host, and Ceph deployments can use auth-none/no-key configurations or process maps from a malicious configured peer. When uncertain between authentication-dependent and unauthenticated deployments, the higher severity PR:N is selected.\nUI:N - Once a CephFS/RBD/libceph client is connected, OSD maps are processed asynchronously by the kernel networking/messenger path. No additional victim action is needed for a remote peer to deliver the crafted map.\nS:U - The impact is within the vulnerable kernel client host and does not cross a separate security authority such as a hypervisor, VM boundary, or IOMMU boundary. This is a standard kernel availability impact with unchanged scope.\nC:N - The fixed flaw is a NULL pointer dereference during error cleanup after partial allocation failure. It does not provide an attacker-controlled memory read primitive.\nI:N - The direct vulnerable operation is dereferencing NULL in cleanup, not an out-of-bounds write, UAF, or controlled write. No integrity-modifying primitive is exposed by this fix.\nA:H - A NULL pointer dereference in kernel context can oops or panic the system, and the crafted map can be sent repeatedly by the remote peer. This is a high availability impact."
