Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
erofs: fix file-backed mounts over FUSE<br />
<br />
syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in fuse_read_args_fill:<br />
fuse_read_folio+0xb0/0x100 fs/fuse/file.c:905<br />
filemap_read_folio+0xc6/0x2a0 mm/filemap.c:2367<br />
do_read_cache_folio+0x263/0x5c0 mm/filemap.c:3825<br />
read_mapping_folio include/linux/pagemap.h:1011 [inline]<br />
erofs_bread+0x34d/0x7e0 fs/erofs/data.c:41<br />
erofs_read_superblock fs/erofs/super.c:281 [inline]<br />
erofs_fc_fill_super+0x2b9/0x2500 fs/erofs/super.c:625<br />
<br />
Unlike most filesystems, some network filesystems and FUSE need<br />
unavoidable valid `file` pointers for their read I/Os [1].<br />
Anyway, those use cases need to be supported too.<br />
