AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied by updating to Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-31.31 or later for the hardware enablement (HWE) kernel on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. After updating, a system reboot is required. Due to an ABI change, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled. Follow the vendor advisory instructions for proper update and module recompilation procedures.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse-uring: Avoid queue->stopped races and set/read that value under lock There are several readers of queue->stopped that check the value under lock, but fuse_uring_commit_fetch() did not and actually the value was not set under the lock in fuse_uring_abort_end_requests() either. Especially in fuse_uring_commit_fetch it is important to check under a lock, because due to races 'struct fuse_req' might be freed with fuse_request_end, but another thread/cpu might already do teardown work.
