In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: reject oversized dirents in page cache
fuseadddirenttocache() computes a serialized dirent size from the server-controlled namelen field and copies the dirent into a single page-cache page. The existing logic only checks whether the dirent fits in the remaining space of the current page and advances to a fresh page if not. It never checks whether the dirent itself exceeds PAGE_SIZE.
As a result, a malicious FUSE server can return a dirent with namelen=4095, producing a serialized record size of 4120 bytes. On 4 KiB page systems this causes memcpy() to overflow the cache page by 24 bytes into the following kernel page.
Reject dirents that cannot fit in a single page before copying them into the readdir cache.
