Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fuse: re-lock request before replacing page cache folio<br />
<br />
fuse_try_move_folio() unlocks the request on entry but does not<br />
re-lock it on the success path. This means fuse_chan_abort() can end the<br />
request and free the fuse_io_args (eg fuse_readpages_end()) while the<br />
subsequent copy chain logic after fuse_try_move_folio() accesses the<br />
fuse_io_args, leading to use-after-free issues.<br />
<br />
Fix this by calling lock_request() before replace_page_cache_folio().<br />
This ensures the request is locked on the success path which will<br />
prevent the fuse_io_args from being freed while the later copying logic<br />
runs, and also ensures that the ap->folios[i]->mapping is never null<br />
since ap->folios[i] will always point to the newfolio after<br />
replace_page_cache_folio().
