Technical description

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

fuse-uring: fix EFAULT clobber in fuse_uring_commit

copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes not copied as an unsigned

residual on failure (1..sizeof(struct fuse_out_header)). fuse_uring_commit

stores that residual in ssize_t err, sets req->out.h.error to -EFAULT,

then jumps to out: with err still holding the positive residual.

err = copy_from_user(&req->out.h, &ent->headers->in_out,

sizeof(req->out.h));

if (err) {

req->out.h.error = -EFAULT;

goto out; /* err is the positive residual */

}

...

out:

fuse_uring_req_end(ent, req, err);

fuse_uring_req_end() then runs

if (error)

req->out.h.error = error;

which overwrites the just-assigned -EFAULT with the positive residual.

FUSE callers such as fuse_simple_request() test err < 0 to detect

failure, so the positive value is interpreted as success and the

caller proceeds with an

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64264?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64264 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.
