Overview

CVE-2026-64259 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse-uring: make a fuse_req on SQE commit only findable after memcpy

Bad userspace might try to trick us and send commit SQEs request

unique / commit-id of requests that are not even send to

fuse-server (io_uring_cmd_done() not called) yet.

fuse_uring_commit_fetch() ends the fuse request when the ring entry

has a wrong state, but that could have caused a use-after-free

with the memcpy operations in fuse_uring_send_in_task().

In order to avoid such races the call of fuse_uring_add_to_pq()

is moved after the copy operations and just before completing

the io-uring request - malicious userspace cannot find the request

anymore until all prepration work in fuse-client/kernel is completed.

This also moves fuse_uring_add_to_pq() a bit up in the code to

avoid a forward declaration. Also not with a preparation commit,

to make it easier to back port to older kernels.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64259?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64259 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
