CVE-2026-52954

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

libceph: handle rbtree insertion error in decode_choose_args()

A message of type CEPH_MSG_OSD_MAP contains an OSD map that itself

contains a CRUSH map. The received CRUSH map may optionally contain

choose_args that get decoded in decode_choose_args(). In this function,

num_choose_arg_maps is read from the message, and a corresponding number

of crush_choose_arg_maps gets decoded afterwards. Each

crush_choose_arg_map has a choose_args_index, which serves as the key

when inserting it into the choose_args rbtree of the decoded crush_map.

If a (potentially corrupted) message contains two crush_choose_arg_maps

with the same index, the assertion in insert_choose_arg_map() triggers a

kernel BUG when trying to insert the second crush_choose_arg_map.

This patch fixes the issue by switching to the non-asserting rbtree

insertion function and rejecting the message if the insertion fails.
