Technical description

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64265?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
