DescriptionCVE.org

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

fuse: fix missing barrier when checking io-uring readiness

fuse_block_alloc() reads fch->initialized and then fch->io_uring. fch->io_uring is set before fch->initialized, ordered by the smp_wmb() in fuse_chan_set_intialized(), but fuse_block_alloc() has no matching read barrier between the two loads.

This may lead a CPU to observe fch->initialized=1 but fch->io_uring=0, and skip the check that blocks request allocation until the io-uring queues are ready. This can reintroduce the lock-order inversion deadlock that commit 3393ff964e0f prevents.

Add an smp_rmb() barrier to pair with the smp_wmb() in fuse_chan_set_initialized() to prevent this.
