Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: clear intr_entry in fuse_resend and fuse_remove_pending_req When fuse_resend() moves a request from fpq->processing back to fiq->pending, it sets FR_PENDING and clears FR_SENT but does not remove the requests intr_entry from fiq->interrupts.

If the request had FR_INTERRUPTED set from a prior signal, intr_entry remains dangling on fiq->interrupts. When the requesting task then receives a fatal signal, fuse_remove_pending_req() sees FR_PENDING=1, removes the request from fiq->pending and frees it via the refcount path, also without cleaning intr_entry.

The stale intr_entry causes use-after-free when fuse_read_interrupt() iterates fiq->interrupts: - list_del_init(&req->intr_entry) -> UAF write on freed slab - req->in.h.unique -> UAF read, data leaked to userspace Remove intr_entry from fiq->interrupts in fuse_resend() for interrupted requests before they are placed back on fiq->pending.

Add a WARN_ON if the intr_entry is not empty on request destruction. When a fuse request is interrupted and then resent, a specific interrupt entry (`intr_entry`) is not properly cleared.

If the requesting task subsequently receives a fatal signal, this uncleared entry can lead to a use-after-free condition.

Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat package: kernel.

Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation
  • To mitigate this issue, the `fuse` kernel module can be blacklisted to prevent its loading. This action will disable the functionality of FUSE filesystems, which may affect applications that rely on them. To blacklist the module, create `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-fuse.conf` with `blacklist fuse`, then regenerate the initramfs using `dracut -f -v` and reboot the system. This change requires a system reboot to take effect and may impact system functionality if FUSE is in use.
