In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse-uring: fix EFAULT clobber in fuseuringcommit

copyfromuser() returns the number of bytes not copied as an unsigned residual on failure (1..sizeof(struct fuseoutheader)). fuseuringcommit stores that residual in ssizet err, sets req->out.h.error to -EFAULT, then jumps to out: with err still holding the positive residual.

err = copyfromuser(&req->out.h, &ent->headers->inout, sizeof(req->out.h)); if (err) { req->out.h.error = -EFAULT; goto out; / err is the positive residual / } ... out: fuseuringreqend(ent, req, err);

fuseuringreqend() then runs

if (error) req->out.h.error = error;

which overwrites the just-assigned -EFAULT with the positive residual. FUSE callers such as fusesimplerequest() test err < 0 to detect failure, so the positive value is interpreted as success and the caller proceeds with an uninitialised or partial req->out.args.

Fix by assigning err = -EFAULT in the failure branch before jumping to out, so fuseuringreqend() receives a negative errno and sets req->out.h.error to -EFAULT.
