CVE-2026-64267 PUBLISHED

fuse: avoid 32-bit prune notification count wrap

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 19.07.2026 Published: 25.07.2026 Updated: 25.07.2026

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

fuse: avoid 32-bit prune notification count wrap

FUSE_NOTIFY_PRUNE validates the nodeid payload length with:

<pre>size - sizeof(outarg) != outarg.count * sizeof(u64) </pre>

On 32-bit kernels, size_t is also 32 bits, so the daemon-controlled count multiplication can wrap. A prune notification with count 0x20000000 and no nodeid payload passes the check, enters the copy loop, and asks the device copy path to read nodeids that are not present in the userspace write buffer. In QEMU this reaches the fuse_copy_fill() BUG_ON(!err) path.

Validate the payload length with array_size() instead. That accepts exactly the same valid messages, but avoids wrapping arithmetic before the copy loop consumes the count.
