A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fuse-uring subsystem was fixed to prevent a crash caused by dereferencing a cancelled entry. The issue involved improper handling of cancelled entries moved to the ent_in_userspace list, which could lead to a kernel crash. The fix involves freeing the entry and adjusting reference counts correctly during cancellation. This vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0 and specific older versions. A patch is available in Linux kernel version 7.0.0 and later.
