Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fuse-uring component. This vulnerability arises from the incorrect handling of cancelled entries, which are moved to a list where a subsequent operation unconditionally attempts to access a null pointer. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to trigger a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:09:12 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse-uring: fix moving cancelled entry to ent_in_userspace list

fuse_uring_cancel() moves entries that are available (these have no reqs
attached) to the ent_in_userspace list. ent_list_request_expired()
checks the first entry on ent_in_userspace and dereferences
ent->fuse_req unconditionally, which will crash on a cancelled entry
that was moved to this list.

Fix this by freeing the entry and dropping queue_refs directly in
fuse_uring_cancel(). This is safe because cancel is the cancel handler
itself - after io_uring_cmd_done(), no more cancels will be dispatched
for this command, and teardown serializes with cancel via queue->lock.

Since cancel now decrements queue_refs, fuse_uring_abort() must no
longer gate fuse_uring_abort_end_requests() on queue_refs > 0, as
cancelled entries may have already dropped queue_refs while requests are
still queued. Remove the gate so abort always flushes requests and stops
queues.
