Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Linux kernel versions with the Ceph client's NFS export get_name path are affected. The flaw is an out-of-bounds write when a malicious or compromised Ceph metadata server returns an oversized name, which is reachable when a CephFS mount is re-exported over NFS. The source lists fixed kernel versions in the 5.10, 5.15, 6.1 and 6.6 series, as well as the upstream fix commits, so upgrade to a fixed kernel release for your branch.
