Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64259)
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 use-after-free.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in fuse_uring_commit_fetch() and fuse_uring_send_in_task() when processing commit sqes that reference requests not yet sent to the fuse server. A local user can send crafted commit sqes with request unique or commit-id values for requests that are not yet completed to cause a use-after-free.
The issue is caused by a race condition where a request becomes findable before preparation and memcpy operations are completed.
