Upgrade the store to\nsmp_store_release() and the load in fuse_uring_ready() to\nsmp_load_acquire() so that the preceding WRITE_ONCE(fiq->ops, ...)\nis visible to any CPU that observes ring->ready == true.\n\nAdditionally, fuse_uring_do_register() publishes ring->ready with\nWRITE_ONCE() but the fast-path check reads it with a plain load.\nThis is a marked-vs-unmarked access that KCSAN will flag. Wrap it in\nREAD_ONCE() to mark it without adding unnecessary ordering.\n\nAlso wrap the fc->ring load in fuse_uring_ready() in READ_ONCE() to\nprevent the compiler from reloading it between the NULL check and the\ndereference." } ], "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, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached locally by mounting FUSE with io-uring and submitting IORING_OP_URING_CMD registration while other local threads generate FUSE requests; no network protocol path invokes fuse_uring_ready() or fuse_uring_do_register().\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race by registering ring entries on /dev/fuse while concurrently issuing filesystem operations on the same mount, so the publish window on weakly ordered CPUs can be driven and retried without relying on victim state.\nPR:L - FUSE is FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so an ordinary user can create a user-namespace mount, open /dev/fuse, and enable FUSE_OVER_IO_URING without init-namespace root privileges.\nUI:N - The attacker can run both the FUSE daemon that registers io-uring queues and the client threads that generate requests on that mount, so no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to the host kernel authority as a local FUSE/io-uring memory-safety failure, not a VM, IOMMU, or guest-to-host boundary escape.\nC:H - Missing acquire on ring->ready lets CPUs observe readiness while fiq->ops and related ring publication are stale, and the unfixed fc->ring reload in fuse_uring_ready() is a check-then-use UAF window against ring teardown, enabling disclosure of reclaimed kernel memory.\nI:H - Dispatching through inconsistent ops/ring state and the concurrent ring reload UAF allow writes and list/queue operations on stale or reallocated fuse_ring objects, which is exploitable for heap corruption and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The same races can NULL-dereference or use a freed fuse_ring in fuse_uring_task_to_queue()/fuse_uring_ready(), hang requests on the wrong queue path, and trigger WARN/oops or panic under panic_on_warn." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/fuse/dev_uring.c", "fs/fuse/dev_uring_i.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "c2c9af9a0b13261c36909036057a116f2edb5e1a", "lessThan": "b156bb9966972122b148acab8bdf415cdb8176a3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2c9af9a0b13261c36909036057a116f2edb5e1a", "lessThan": "d01a09b442cb786cd44ccc7c84d57e2856d6737c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2c9af9a0b13261c36909036057a116f2edb5e1a", "lessThan": "46725a0056c884cf58a6897f222892807327d82d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/fuse/dev_uring.c", "fs/fuse/dev_uring_i.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.14", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.39", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b156bb9966972122b148acab8bdf415cdb8176a3" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d01a09b442cb786cd44ccc7c84d57e2856d6737c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/46725a0056c884cf58a6897f222892807327d82d" } ], "title": "fuse-uring: fix data races on ring->ready", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
