DescriptionCVE.org

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

fuse-uring: Avoid use-after-free in fuse_uring_async_stop_queues

fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() might run when the last reference on ring->queue_refs was already dropped.

In order to avoid an early destruction a reference on struct fuse_conn is now taken before starting fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() and that reference is only released when that delayed work queue terminates.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's fuse-uring subsystem allows a local attacker to trigger a use-after-free condition by racing with the async stop queues function, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution and complete system compromise. The vulnerability affects Linux kernel versions 6.14 through 6.18.x (patched in 6.18.39, 7.1.4,
