Summary

In the Linux kernel fuse-uring subsystem, a use-after-free vulnerability exists. The fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() function may run after the last reference to ring->queue_refs has been dropped.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute code in kernel context or cause a system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that takes a reference on struct fuse_conn before starting fuse_uring_async_stop_queues().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse-uring: Avoid use-after-free in fuse_uring_async_stop_queues fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() might run when the last reference on ring->queue_refs was already dropped. In order to avoid an early destruction a reference on struct fuse_conn is now taken before starting fuse_uring_async_stop_queues() and that reference is only released when that delayed work queue terminates.
