4Description
libfuse is the reference implementation of the Linux FUSE. From version 3.18.0 to before version 3.18.2, a use-after-free vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem of libfuse allows a local attacker to crash FUSE filesystem processes and potentially execute arbitrary code. When io_uring thread creation fails due to resource exhaustion (e.g., cgroup pids.max), fuse_uring_start() frees the ring pool structure but stores the dangling pointer in the session state, leading to a use-after-free when the session shuts down. The trigger is reliable in containerized environments where cgroup pids.max limits naturally constrain thread creation. This issue has been patched in version 3.18.2.
Analysis
libfuse versions 3.18.0 through 3.18.1 contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem that allows local attackers to crash FUSE filesystem processes or execute arbitrary code when thread creation fails under resource constraints. The flaw occurs when io_uring initialization fails (e.g., due to cgroup limits), leaving a dangling pointer in session state that is dereferenced during shutdown. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running libfuse 3.18.0–3.18.1 and classify by criticality; assess exposure in containerized environments with resource limits. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict local access where feasible; monitor vendor communications for patches; establish change management for urgent updates. …
