AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been released in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should upgrade affected Linux kernel versions to these fixed releases to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation actions are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CVE-2026-64588 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fuse-uring subsystem involving data races on the ring->ready flag. On weakly-ordered architectures, improper memory ordering allows CPUs to dispatch requests using stale pointers, potentially leading to memory corruption or privilege escalation. The issue is fixed by enforcing proper memory barriers and marking accesses to prevent compiler reordering. Multiple affected Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and related builds are vulnerable. A patch is available and has been released in versions 7.0.0 and later.
