Buffer overflow in the fuse_do_ioctl function in fs/fuse/file.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37 allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the ability to operate a CUSE server.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Linux kernel flaw in FUSE/CUSE ioctl handling. A local user with the ability to operate a CUSE server could crash the system or potentially cause other unspecified impact. The sources indicate it was fixed before Linux 2.6.37; business risk is mainly legacy or unsupported Linux estates. Exposure is most likely on legacy Linux systems running kernels before 2.6.37 or vendor kernels missing the relevant backport. Systems with untrusted local shell users and CUSE/FUSE availability deserve the closest review. The bundle does not identify specific distributions beyond a Red Hat bug reference. Treat this as a legacy Linux hygiene issue unless affected systems still host untrusted users. It is not shown as actively exploited, but kernel denial-of-service risk can affect availability. Confirm patch status during normal vulnerability management, with higher priority for shared or multi-user systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a kernel version containing the upstream fix or vendor backport.; Check vendor guidance for distribution-specific fixed kernel package versions.; Prioritize legacy hosts with untrusted local users and CUSE/FUSE usage..
