Summary

In the Linux kernel fuse-uring subsystem, a vulnerability leads to a NULL pointer dereference. If a copy into the userspace ring buffer fails, the entry remains on ent_w_req_queue with ent->fuse_req set to NULL, potentially causing a crash when the list is scanned.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could cause a system crash (DoS) by sending requests that cause a copy failure into the userspace ring buffer.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that removes the entry from ent_w_req_queue and changes its state to FRRS_INVALID before terminating the request.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse-uring: remove request-less entries from ent_w_req_queue to fix NULL deref If a copy into the userspace ring buffer fails, a request will be terminated and fuse_uring_req_end() will set ent->fuse_req to NULL but it will leave the entry on ent_w_req_queue in FRRS_FUSE_REQ state. This can lead to a NULL deref if the request expiration logic scans ent_w_req_queue in the window before the entry is moved off it. Fix this by taking the entry off ent_w_req_queue and changing its state from FRRS_FUSE_REQ to FRRS_INVALID before terminating the request.
