Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64266

Vulnerability identifier: #VU139729

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64266

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in fuse_ref_folio() in the FUSE subsystem when handling a subsequent copy chain after unlocking the request. A local user can trigger request abort and asynchronous end callback timing to cause a denial of service.
