DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse-uring: make a fuse_req on SQE commit only findable after memcpy

Bad userspace might try to trick us and send commit SQEs request unique / commit-id of requests that are not even send to fuse-server (io_uring_cmd_done() not called) yet.

fuse_uring_commit_fetch() ends the fuse request when the ring entry has a wrong state, but that could have caused a use-after-free with the memcpy operations in fuse_uring_send_in_task(). In order to avoid such races the call of fuse_uring_add_to_pq() is moved after the copy operations and just before completing the io-uring request - malicious userspace cannot find the request anymore until all prepration work in fuse-client/kernel is completed.

This also moves fuse_uring_add_to_pq() a bit up in the code to avoid a forward declaration. Also not with a preparation commit, to make it easier to back port to older kernels.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in the Linux kernel’s fuse-uring subsystem allows a local authenticated attacker to escalate privileges. The race condition occurs when a malicious userspace sends a commit SQE before the kernel completes the memcpy of request data, triggering a freed fuse_req to be reused. CVSS base score is 7.8 but EPSS probability is low (0.21%), and no public exploit or active exploitation has been reported.
