Kernel warning via FUSE interrupt-resend race
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Race condition in the Linux kernel FUSE subsystem allows attackers to trigger a kernel warning during interrupted request resend. In fs/fuse/dev.c, request_wait_answer() can observe FR_SENT before fuse_chan_resend() clears it, then queue an interrupt after the request state changes. The warning fires when fuse_request_free() sees a nonempty intr_entry; the public record does not establish a stronger security impact or reliable attacker-controlled trigger.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
