(I can\nimagine it could even be possible to exploit this bug to elevate\nprivileges.)\n\nUnfortunately, these Ceph functions are undocumented and its semantics\ncan only be derived from the code. I see that ceph_mdsc_build_path()\ninitializes the structure only on success, but not on error.\n\nCalling ceph_mdsc_free_path_info() after a failed\nceph_mdsc_build_path() call does not even make sense, but that's what\nall callers do, and for it to be safe, the structure must be\nzero-initialized. The least intrusive approach to fix this is\ntherefore to add initializers everywhere.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-08T14:21:47.579+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-21T12:40:44.899+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/ceph/debugfs.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/dir.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/file.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/inode.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"db378e6f83ec705c6091c65d482d555edc2b0a72\",\n \"lessThan\": \"644b47f0574fd82aeb9d00317eca8d1f2a525c8c\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"15f519e9f883b316d86e2bb6b767a023aafd9d83\",\n \"lessThan\": \"8be8911f590813e6f90bc6407ced1b23e50bc5da\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"15f519e9f883b316d86e2bb6b767a023aafd9d83\",\n \"lessThan\": \"453df1f4535842bf17ff1885a225e153d7ee3374\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"15f519e9f883b316d86e2bb6b767a023aafd9d83\",\n \"lessThan\": \"43323a5934b660afae687e8e4e95ac328615a5c4\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"dc5aad078abc416dd3d555c50f5308c16ba918a7\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"2bfe45987eb346e299d9f763f9cd05f77011519f\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.48\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.12.78\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.160\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.7\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.16.8\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.17\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/ceph/debugfs.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/dir.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/file.c\",\n \"fs/ceph/inode.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"6.17\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.17\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.78\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.18.19\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.19.9\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.19.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.0\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/644b47f0574fd82aeb9d00317eca8d1f2a525c8c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8be8911f590813e6f90bc6407ced1b23e50bc5da","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/453df1f4535842bf17ff1885a225e153d7ee3374","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/43323a5934b660afae687e8e4e95ac328615a5c4"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-43408","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-43408","identifiers":["CVE-2026-43408"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
