Raphael Zimmer f9da5c1bba libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
commit b282c43ed1 upstream.

This patch fixes an out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
that can be triggered by a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY. In
ceph_handle_auth_reply(), the value of the payload_len field of such a
message is stored in a variable of type int. A value greater than
INT_MAX leads to an integer overflow and is interpreted as a negative
value. This leads to decrementing the pointer address by this value and
subsequently accessing it because ceph_decode_need() only checks that
the memory access does not exceed the end address of the allocation.

This patch fixes the issue by changing the data type of payload_len to
u32. Additionally, the data type of result_msg_len is changed to u32,
as it is also a variable holding a non-negative length.

Also, an additional layer of sanity checks is introduced, ensuring that
directly after reading it from the message, payload_len and
result_msg_len are not greater than the overall segment length.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
