has been resolved:\n\nfuse: re-lock request before returning from fuse_ref_folio()\n\nfuse_ref_folio() unlocks the request but does not re-lock it before\nreturning. fuse_chan_abort() can end the request and the async end\ncallback (eg fuse_writepage_free()) can free the args while the\nsubsequent copy chain logic after fuse_ref_folio() accesses them,\nleading to use-after-free issues.\n\nFix this by locking the request in fuse_ref_folio() before returning." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8,

descriptor.\nAC:L - The attacker controls writeback generation, splice processing, and concurrent connection abort, allowing repeated attempts at the race without an uncontrollable prerequisite.\nPR:L - FUSE supports user-namespace mounts, and an unprivileged mount owner can operate /dev/fuse and abort their own connection without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker can create and exercise their own FUSE connection without any victim action.\nS:U - Exploitation compromises the kernel within the same operating-system security authority and does not inherently cross a virtualization boundary.\nC:H - The freed argument and folio arrays are subsequently dereferenced, permitting attacker-influenced stale folio pointers and potential arbitrary kernel-memory disclosure through pipe buffers.\nI:H - Heap reclamation can replace the freed folio pointers and loop metadata, enabling attacker-directed memory or refcount operations that may support arbitrary writes and kernel code execution.\nA:H - The repeatable use-after-free and invalid folio operations can cause an oops, panic, or other complete system failure." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor":
