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

fuse: copy request headers via a stack buffer for io-uring

The fuse-io-uring transport copies req->in.h out to the ring in
fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() and req->out.h back in fuse_uring_commit().
Both headers live inside the fuse_request slab object, whose cache
(fuse_req_cachep) is created without a usercopy whitelist, so copying
them directly to/from userspace trips CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and
panics:

usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object
'fuse_request' (offset 56, size 40)!
kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!
Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
RIP: 0010:usercopy_abort (mm/usercopy.c:90)
Call Trace:

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121)

Bounce both headers through an on-stack copy so the usercopy touches
stack memory, not the slab object.
