Ceph is a distributed object, block, and file storage platform. In versions up to and including 19.2.3, using the argument `x-amz-copy-source` to put an object and specifying an empty string as its content leads to the RGW daemon crashing, resulting in a DoS attack. As of time of publication, no known patched versions exist.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8045-1 advisory.

    Martin Schobert discovered that Ceph did not properly verify SSL certificates when using Pybind for secure     mail connections, which could result in accepting invalid certificates. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to perform an intermediary attack and access mail server credentials or message contents. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 25.10.
    (CVE-2024-31884)

    It was discovered that Ceph's RADOS Gateway (RGW) did not properly handle certain header parameters. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the RGW service to crash, leading to a denial of service.

    Package        : ceph     Version        : 14.2.21-1+deb11u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-0670 CVE-2024-47866     Debian Bug     : 1016069 1120797

    Ceph is a distributed object, block, and file storage platform.

    CVE-2022-0670

        A flaw was found in Openstack manilla owning a Ceph File system         share, which enables the owner to read/write any manilla share         or entire file system. The vulnerability is due to a bug in the         volumes plugin in Ceph Manager. This allows an attacker to         compromise confidentiality and integrity of a file system.

    CVE-2024-47866

        Using the argument `x-amz-copy-source` to put an object and         specifying an empty string as its content leads to the RGW daemon         crashing, resulting in a DoS attack.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     14.2.21-1+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ceph packages.
