6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel FUSE filesystem, a use-after-free vulnerability exists. The fuse_ref_folio() function unlocks the request but does not re-lock it before returning, potentially leading to use-after-free.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute code in kernel context or cause a denial of service (DoS).

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that re-locks the request in fuse_ref_folio() before returning.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: re-lock request before returning from fuse_ref_folio() fuse_ref_folio() unlocks the request but does not re-lock it before returning. fuse_chan_abort() can end the request and the async end callback (eg fuse_writepage_free()) can free the args while the subsequent copy chain logic after fuse_ref_folio() accesses them, leading to use-after-free issues. Fix this by locking the request in fuse_ref_folio() before returning.
