CVE-2026-80858

fuse: publish io-uring queues with release semantics

Published Sep 4, 2026 CVSS n/a EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse: publish io-uring queues with release semantics

fuse_uring_create_queue() initializes a fuse_ring_queue and then
publishes the pointer into ring->queues[qid] with WRITE_ONCE() under the
fch->lock. There are several readers that may concurrently be fetching
that pointer locklessly and then deferencing it.

WRITE_ONCE() doesn't ensure ordering of the queue's field
initialization before the ring->queues[qid] pointer assignment. The
queue must be published with smp_store_release() so the field
initialization is guaranteed to happen before.

Readers in paths where the read may happen concurrently with the store
need to use READ_ONCE() because any race involving a plain access is
undefined.
