They are used\nto hold values that are always non-negative and get assigned in\nceph_decode_32_safe(), which is meant to assign u32 values. Both\nvariables are subsequently used as unsigned values, and the value of\nnum_mon is further assigned to monmap->num_mon, which is of type u32.\nTherefore, both variables should be of type u32. This is especially\nrelevant for num_mon. If the value read from the incoming message is\nvery large, it is interpreted as a negative value, and the check for\nnum_mon > CEPH_MAX_MON does not catch it. This leads to the attempt to\nallocate a very large chunk of memory for monmap, which will most likely\nfail. In this case, an unnecessary attempt to allocate memory is\nperformed, and -ENOMEM is returned instead of -EINVAL.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-08T14:21:45.581+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:16:28.48+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
