In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: bound copied dentry name length in NFS export get_name ceph_get_name() copies the MDS-supplied name into the caller's NAME_MAX-sized buffer with memcpy(name, rinfo->dname, rinfo->dname_len) and then writes name[rinfo->dname_len] = 0, without checking dname_len against NAME_MAX. A malicious or buggy MDS that returns a LOOKUPNAME reply with dname_len > NAME_MAX overflows the buffer. __get_snap_name() copies rde->name / rde->name_len the same unchecked way. Impact: a malicious or compromised Ceph MDS overflows the NAME_MAX name buffer in a client's NFS-export get_name path, a slab out-of-bounds write reported by KASAN. Reachable when a CephFS mount is re-exported over NFS. Add ceph_export_copy_name(), which rejects lengths above NAME_MAX with -ENAMETOOLONG before the copy, and use it in both ceph_get_name() and __get_snap_name().

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Ceph file system. A malicious or compromised Ceph Metadata Server (MDS) can send a specially crafted `LOOKUPNAME` reply that causes a buffer overflow when copying dentry names during an NFS export operation. This out-of-bounds write can lead to memory corruption on the client system, particularly when a CephFS mount is re-exported over NFS.
