CVE-2026-64264 Details
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 uninitialised or partial req->out.args. Fix by assigning err = -EFAULT in the failure branch before jumping to out, so fuse_uring_req_end() receives a negative errno and sets req->out.h.error to -EFAULT.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) implementation with io-uring support has been fixed. The issue arose in the 'fuse_uring_commitcopy_from_user()' function, where the 'copy_from_user()' call could fail and return a positive residual value, indicating bytes not copied. This residual was incorrectly handled, leading to an error clobbering issue. When an error occurred, the function set an error code but then overwrote it with the positive residual, causing FUSE callers to misinterpret the situation and proceed with uninitialized data. The vulnerability affected the Linux kernel's stable releases.
Users can upgrade to the latest stable version of the Linux kernel to address this vulnerability. The patched version is available in the official Linux kernel repositories.
