5DescriptionNVD
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: avoid 32-bit prune notification count wrap
FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE validates the nodeid payload length with:
size - sizeof(outarg) != outarg.count * sizeof(u64)
On 32-bit kernels, size_t is also 32 bits, so the daemon-controlled count multiplication can wrap. A prune notification with count 0x20000000 and no nodeid payload passes the check, enters the copy loop, and asks the device copy path to read nodeids that are not present in the userspace write buffer. In QEMU this reaches the fuse_copy_fill() BUG_ON(!err) path.
Validate the payload length with array_size() instead. That accepts exactly the same valid messages, but avoids wrapping arithmetic before the copy loop consumes the count.
AnalysisAI
Integer wrap in the FUSE subsystem's prune notification handler crashes 32-bit Linux kernels when a malicious or compromised FUSE daemon sends a crafted FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE message. On 32-bit platforms where size_t is 32 bits, multiplying a daemon-controlled count value of 0x20000000 by sizeof(u64) wraps to zero, causing the payload length check to pass with no actual nodeid data present; the subsequent copy loop then triggers a BUG_ON assertion, inducing a kernel panic. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS stands at 0.21% (11th percentile), consistent with the narrow exploitation window of 32-bit-only kernels and requiring FUSE daemon control.
Technical ContextAI
FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a Linux kernel subsystem exposing a device interface through which unprivileged userspace daemons implement filesystems. The FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE message instructs the kernel to evict cached directory entries for specific nodeids. The vulnerable validation expression size - sizeof(outarg) != outarg.count * sizeof(u64) performs an unsigned 32-bit multiplication on 32-bit kernels: a daemon-supplied count of 0x20000000 multiplied by 8 produces 0x100000000, which truncates to 0x00000000 in a 32-bit size_t, defeating the length check entirely. The kernel then enters the nodeid copy loop with a zero-byte payload, reaches fuse_copy_fill() with no data to satisfy the read, and hits BUG_ON(!err). The fix substitutes array_size() - which uses overflow-safe saturating arithmetic - making any wrap-inducing count produce SIZE_MAX, which unambiguously fails the length check. CWE is not assigned in the source data, but the root cause class is integer overflow/wrap (CWE-190) leading to an out-of-bounds read attempt. Affected CPE: cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Linux kernel 6.18.39, 7.1.4, or 7.2-rc1, which replace the vulnerable multiplication with array_size() in the FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE handler. Stable-branch patches are available at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e2d84fdeac05bfd858e84a76353fdb84f23a43e (one stable branch), https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/54243797cedf55447b4c5d560e8cd709900061ae (second branch), and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c78c4b242299bc581e4987e5c2786c6f4760c516 (third branch). If patching is not immediately feasible on affected 32-bit systems, restrict FUSE mount privileges by removing user_allow_other from /etc/fuse.conf and auditing which users or groups hold CAP_SYS_ADMIN or fuse group membership, since reducing the set of principals who can control a FUSE daemon directly limits the attacker pool; note this may break legitimate user-space filesystems such as SSHFS or GVisor. Unloading the fuse kernel module (modprobe -r fuse) fully eliminates the attack surface but will break any workload depending on FUSE-based filesystems.
