This means fuse_chan_abort() can end the\nrequest and free the fuse_io_args (eg fuse_readpages_end()) while the\nsubsequent copy chain logic after fuse_try_move_folio() accesses the\nfuse_io_args, leading to use-after-free issues.\n\nFix this by calling lock_request() before replace_page_cache_folio().\nThis ensures the request is locked on the success path which will\nprevent the fuse_io_args from being freed while the later copying logic\nruns, and also ensures that the ap->folios[i]->mapping is never null\nsince ap->folios[i] will always point to the newfolio

"scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local syscalls: mounting a FUSE filesystem, reading files to trigger readpages, and the FUSE daemon writing replies to /dev/fuse via splice_write with SPLICE_F_MOVE.\nAC:L - The race is between the attacker's own splice reply and a concurrent abort they trigger (e.g., via sysfs abort or unmount); the attacker controls both threads and can retry until the window is hit.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires mounting and operating a FUSE filesystem via /dev/fuse, which needs local user privileges; on typical systems this is reachable by unprivileged users via user namespaces (CAP_SYS_ADMIN in a user namespace) without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required; the attacker mounts the filesystem, runs the FUSE daemon, and triggers the concurrent abort themselves.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and potential local privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain, not a cross-boundary escape such as guest-to-host or sandbox breakout.\nC:H - The vulnerability is a use-after-free of fuse_io_args and associated folio pointers in kernel heap memory, which can be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory read via heap reuse.\nI:H - Use-after-free of fuse_io_args enables heap spraying and controlled reuse of freed kernel objects, providing a path to arbitrary kernel memory write or code execution.\nA:H - The UAF and the race with folio replacement can cause kernel oops/panic, including NULL pointer dereference when fuse_readpages_end accesses a folio with a NULL mapping." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
