A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to remove terminated non-committed requests from the queue's list, resolving the issue. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch once available. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: fix io-uring list corruption for terminated non-committed requests When a request is terminated before it has been committed, the request is not removed from the queue's list. This leaves a dangling list entry that leads to list corruption and use-after-free issues. Remove the request from the queue's list for terminated non-committed requests.
