### [CVE-2024-53685](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-53685) ![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Product&message=Linux&color=blue) ![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Version&message=1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2%3C%200f2b2d9e881c90402dbe28f9ba831775b7992e1f%20&color=brighgreen) ![](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Vulnerability&message=n%2Fa&color=brighgreen) ### Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:ceph: give up on paths longer than PATH_MAXIf the full path to be built by ceph_mdsc_build_path() happens to belonger than PATH_MAX, then this function will enter an endless (retry)loop, effectively blocking the whole task. Most of the machinebecomes unusable, making this a very simple and effective DoSvulnerability.I cannot imagine why this retry was ever implemented, but it seemsrather useless and harmful to me. Let's remove it and fail withENAMETOOLONG instead. ### POC #### Reference No PoCs from references. #### Github - https://github.com/oogasawa/Utility-security
