CVE-2026-33179

libfuse is the reference implementation of the Linux FUSE. From version 3.18.0 to before version 3.18.2, a NULL pointer dereference and memory leak in fuse_uring_init_queue allows a local user to crash the FUSE daemon or cause resource exhaustion. When numa_alloc_local fails during io_uring queue entry setup, the code proceeds with NULL pointers. When fuse_uring_register_queue fails, NUMA allocations are leaked and the function incorrectly returns success. Only the io_uring transport is affected; the traditional /dev/fuse path is not affected. PoC confirmed with AddressSanitizer/LeakSanitizer. This issue has been patched in version 3.18.2.

Summary
  • (es) libfuse es la implementación de referencia de FUSE de Linux. Desde la versión 3.18.0 hasta antes de la versión 3.18.2, una desreferencia de puntero NULL y una fuga de memoria en fuse_uring_init_queue permiten a un usuario local bloquear el demonio FUSE o causar agotamiento de recursos. Cuando numa_alloc_local falla durante la configuración de la entrada de la cola io_uring, el código procede con punteros NULL. Cuando fuse_uring_register_queue falla, las asignaciones NUMA se filtran y la función devuelve éxito incorrectamente. Solo el transporte io_uring se ve afectado; la ruta tradicional /dev/fuse no se ve afectada. PoC confirmado con AddressSanitizer/LeakSanitizer. Este problema ha sido parcheado en la versión 3.18.2.
