Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) component. A race condition exists between interrupt handling and request resending within the `fuse_request_free()` function. This race condition can lead to a kernel warning, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS) for a local attacker.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-04 16:22:43 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse: fix race between interrupt and resend

After commit f8fce75fedf7 ("fuse: clear intr_entry in fuse_resend and
fuse_remove_pending_req") the WARN_ON(!list_empty(&req->intr_entry)) in
fuse_request_free() still triggers due to the following race:

In request_wait_answer()
  if (test_bit(FR_SENT, &req->flags)) -> returns true

In fuse_chan_resend()
  clear_bit(FR_SENT, &req->flags)

In request_wait_answer()
  queue_interrupt(req)

Fix by:

 - move clearing FR_SENT inside fpq->lock

 - move setting FR_PENDING inside fiq->lock

 - recheck FR_SENT after acquiring fiq->lock in fuse_dev_queue_interrupt()
