1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53168)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in fuse_notify_store() and fuse_notify_retrieve() when processing FUSE pagecache notification operations on directories. A remote user can issue crafted FUSE_NOTIFY_STORE or FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE operations on a directory inode to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects directory inodes that use kernel-internal pagecache storage.
