CVE-2024-38626: fuse: clear FR_SENT when re-adding requests into pending list

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 246014876d782bbf2e652267482cd2e799fb5fcd, 533070db659a9589310a743e9de14cf9d651ffaf.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.8, NVD 5.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 246014876d782bbf2e652267482cd2e799fb5fcd, 533070db659a9589310a743e9de14cf9d651ffaf or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: clear FR_SENT when re-adding requests into pending list The following warning was reported by lee bruce: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 8264 at fs/fuse/dev.c:300 fuse_request_end+0x685/0x7e0 fs/fuse/dev.c:300 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 8264 Comm: ab2 Not tainted 6.9.0-rc7 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) RIP: 0010:fuse_request_end+0x685/0x7e0 fs/fuse/dev.c:300 ...... Call Trace: <TASK> fuse_dev_do_read.constprop.0+0xd36/0x1dd0 fs/fuse/dev.c:1334 fuse_dev_read+0x166/0x200 fs/fuse/dev.c:1367 call_read_iter include/linux/fs.h:2104 [inline] new_sync_read fs/read_write.c:395 [inline] vfs_read+0x85b/0xba0 fs/read_write.c:476 ksys_read+0x12f/0x260 fs/read_write.c:619 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xce/0x260 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f ...... </TASK> The warning is due to the FUSE_NOTIFY_RESEND notify sent by the write() syscall in the reproducer program and it happens as follows: (1) calls fuse_dev_read() to read the INIT request The read succeeds. During the read, bit FR_SENT will be set on the request. (2) calls fuse_dev_write() to send an USE_NOTIFY_RESEND notify The resend notify will resend all processing requests, so the INIT request is moved from processing list to pending list again. (3) calls fuse_dev_read() with an invalid output address fuse_dev_read() will try to copy the same INIT request to the output address, but it will fail due to the invalid address, so the INIT request is ended and triggers the warning in fuse_request_end(). Fix it by clearing FR_SENT when re-adding requests into pending list.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
