NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ceph-mon package and not the ceph-mon package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Ceph before 12.2.3 and 13.x through 13.0.1, the rgw_civetweb.cc RGWCivetWeb::init_env function in radosgw doesn't handle malformed HTTP headers properly, allowing for denial of service.
