Subject: CVE-2026-22992: libceph: return the handler error from mon_handle_auth_done()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libceph: return the handler error from mon_handle_auth_done()

Currently any error from ceph_auth_handle_reply_done() is propagated
via finish_auth() but isn't returned from mon_handle_auth_done().  This
results in higher layers learning that (despite the monitor considering
us to be successfully authenticated) something went wrong in the
authentication phase and reacting accordingly, but msgr2 still trying
to proceed with establishing the session in the background.  In the
case of secure mode this can trigger a WARN in setup_crypto() and later
lead to a NULL pointer dereference inside of prepare_auth_signature().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-22992 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
