CVE-2025-38357: fuse: fix runtime warning on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.18% (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 b48878aee8e7311411148c7a67c8f0b02f571d75, befd9a71d859ea625eaa84dae1b243efb3df3eca.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux b48878aee8e7311411148c7a67c8f0b02f571d75, befd9a71d859ea625eaa84dae1b243efb3df3eca or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: fix runtime warning on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals() The WARN_ON_ONCE is introduced on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals() to capture whether the filesystem has removed all DAX entries or not. And the fix has been applied on the filesystem xfs and ext4 by the commit 0e2f80afcfa6 ("fs/dax: ensure all pages are idle prior to filesystem unmount"). Apply the missed fix on filesystem fuse to fix the runtime warning: [ 2.011450] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2.011873] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 145 at mm/truncate.c:89 truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals+0x272/0x2b0 [ 2.012468] Modules linked in: [ 2.012718] CPU: 0 UID: 1000 PID: 145 Comm: weston Not tainted 6.16.0-rc2-WSL2-STABLE #2 PREEMPT(undef) [ 2.013292] RIP: 0010:truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals+0x272/0x2b0 [ 2.013704] Code: 48 63 d0 41 29 c5 48 8d 1c d5 00 00 00 00 4e 8d 6c 2a 01 49 c1 e5 03 eb 09 48 83 c3 08 49 39 dd 74 83 41 f6 44 1c 08 01 74 ef <0f> 0b 49 8b 34 1e 48 89 ef e8 10 a2 17 00 eb df 48 8b 7d 00 e8 35 [ 2.014845] RSP: 0018:ffffa47ec33f3b10 EFLAGS: 00010202 [ 2.015279] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 2.015884] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffa47ec33f3ca0 RDI: ffff98aa44f3fa80 [ 2.016377] RBP: ffff98aa44f3fbf0 R08: ffffa47ec33f3ba8 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 2.016942] R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffffa47ec33f3ca0 [ 2.017437] R13: 0000000000000008 R14: ffffa47ec33f3ba8 R15: 0000000000000000 [ 2.017972] FS: 000079ce006afa40(0000) GS:ffff98aade441000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 2.018510] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 2.018987] CR2: 000079ce03e74000 CR3: 000000010784f006 CR4: 0000000000372eb0 [ 2.019518] Call Trace: [ 2.019729] <TASK> [ 2.019901] truncate_inode_pages_range+0xd8/0x400 [ 2.020280] ? timerqueue_add+0x66/0xb0 [ 2.020574] ? get_nohz_timer_target+0x2a/0x140 [ 2.020904] ? timerqueue_add+0x66/0xb0 [ 2.021231] ? timerqueue_del+0x2e/0x50 [ 2.021646] ? __remove_hrtimer+0x39/0x90 [ 2.022017] ? srso_alias_untrain_ret+0x1/0x10 [ 2.022497] ? psi_group_change+0x136/0x350 [ 2.023046] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0xe/0x30 [ 2.023514] ? finish_task_switch.isra.0+0x8d/0x280 [ 2.024068] ? __schedule+0x532/0xbd0 [ 2.024551] fuse_evict_inode+0x29/0x190 [ 2.025131] evict+0x100/0x270 [ 2.025641] ? _atomic_dec_and_lock+0x39/0x50 [ 2.026316] ? __pfx_generic_delete_inode+0x10/0x10 [ 2.026843] __dentry_kill+0x71/0x180 [ 2.027335] dput+0xeb/0x1b0 [ 2.027725] __fput+0x136/0x2b0 [ 2.028054] __x64_sys_close+0x3d/0x80 [ 2.028469] do_syscall_64+0x6d/0x1b0 [ 2.028832] ? clear_bhb_loop+0x30/0x80 [ 2.029182] ? clear_bhb_loop+0x30/0x80 [ 2.029533] ? clear_bhb_loop+0x30/0x80 [ 2.029902] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e [ 2.030423] RIP: 0033:0x79ce03d0d067 [ 2.030820] Code: b8 ff ff ff ff e9 3e ff ff ff 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 64 8b 04 25 18 00 00 00 85 c0 75 10 b8 03 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 41 c3 48 83 ec 18 89 7c 24 0c e8 c3 a7 f8 ff [ 2.032354] RSP: 002b:00007ffef0498948 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000003 [ 2.032939] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007ffef0498960 RCX: 000079ce03d0d067 [ 2.033612] RDX: 0000000000000003 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: 000000000000000d [ 2.034289] RBP: 00007ffef0498a30 R08: 000000000000000d R09: 0000000000000000 [ 2.034944] R10: 00007ffef0498978 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000001 [ 2.035610] R13: 00007ffef0498960 R14: 000079ce03e09ce0 R15: 0000000000000003 [ 2.036301] </TASK> [ 2.036532] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

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.
