AI-suggested

An official fix is available and has been released by Ubuntu in updated Linux kernel packages. Users should apply the kernel updates to versions 7.0.0-31.31 or later as provided in the Ubuntu security notices USN-8726-1 and USN-8727-1. After updating, a system reboot is required. Additionally, recompilation and reinstallation of third-party kernel modules may be necessary due to ABI changes. No other mitigation steps are required.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: avoid 32-bit prune notification count wrap FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE validates the nodeid payload length with: size - sizeof(outarg) != outarg.count * sizeof(u64) On 32-bit kernels, size_t is also 32 bits, so the daemon-controlled count multiplication can wrap. A prune notification with count 0x20000000 and no nodeid payload passes the check, enters the copy loop, and asks the device copy path to read nodeids that are not present in the userspace write buffer. In QEMU this reaches the fuse_copy_fill() BUG_ON(!err) path. Validate the payload length with array_size() instead. That accepts exactly the same valid messages, but avoids wrapping arithmetic before the copy loop consumes the count.
