Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) component. An error handling vulnerability in the fuse_uring_commit function allows a positive error code to overwrite a critical negative error, causing FUSE operations to be incorrectly reported as successful. This can lead to FUSE callers processing uninitialized or partial data, potentially resulting in data integrity issues or unexpected system behavior.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:06:45 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse-uring: fix EFAULT clobber in fuse_uring_commit

copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes not copied as an unsigned
residual on failure (1..sizeof(struct fuse_out_header)). fuse_uring_commit
stores that residual in ssize_t err, sets req->out.h.error to -EFAULT,
then jumps to out: with err still holding the positive residual.

    err = copy_from_user(&req->out.h, &ent->headers->in_out,
                         sizeof(req->out.h));
    if (err) {
        req->out.h.error = -EFAULT;
        goto out;          /* err is the positive residual */
    }
    ...
    out:
        fuse_uring_req_end(ent, req, err);

fuse_uring_req_end() then runs

    if (error)
        req->out.h.error = error;

which overwrites the just-assigned -EFAULT with the positive residual.
FUSE callers such as fuse_simple_request() test err < 0 to detect
failure, so the positive value is interpreted as success and the
caller proceeds with an uninitialised or partial req->out.args.

Fix by assigning err = -EFAULT in the failure branch before jumping
to out, so fuse_uring_req_end() receives a negative errno and sets
req->out.h.error to -EFAULT.
