CVE-2026-64265

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.
