Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53381)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in fuse_release_end() during virtiofs auto_submount unmount processing when releasing files during submount unmount after the superblock has already been destroyed. A local user can trigger submount unmount activity to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects the virtiofs auto_submounts case, where the wait counter is tracked per connection rather than per superblock.
