The\nshape has been present since ceph_handle_caps() was introduced.\n\nValidate snap_trace_len against the message front buffer before\nconsuming it, using the canonical ceph_decode_need() / ceph_has_room()\nhelper.  The helper bounds the length with subtraction (n <= end - p,\nguarded by end >= p) rather than pointer addition, so it is wrap-safe\nfor the attacker-controlled u32 length on 32-bit builds where\np + snap_trace_len could overflow the address space.  This matches the\nrest of the ceph decode path (e.g. the pool_ns_len check a few lines\nbelow), and the existing goto bad cleanup already covers this exit\npath.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-10T11:59:26.741+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T20:58:55.403+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
