A vulnerability has been discovered in Ceph. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.

The ceph-crash.service runs the ceph-crash Python script as root. The script is operating in the directory /var/lib/ceph/crash which is controlled by the unprivileged ceph user (ceph:ceph mode 0750). The script periodically scans for new crash directories and forwards the content via `ceph crash post`.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Ceph users should upgrade to the latest version:


          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-cluster/ceph-17.2.6"
