Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: Initialize beyond-EOF page contents before setting uptodate
fuse_notify_store(), unlike fuse_do_readpage(), does not enable page
zeroing (because it can be used to change partial page contents).
So fuse_notify_store() must be more careful to fully initialize page
contents (including parts of the page that are beyond end-of-file)
before marking the page uptodate.
The current code can leave beyond-EOF page contents uninitialized, which
makes these uninitialized page contents visible to userspace via mmap().
This is an information leak, but only affects systems which do not
enable init-on-alloc (via CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON=y or the
corresponding kernel command line parameter).
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.36 < 4.19.321)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.283)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.225)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.166)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.107)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.48)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.10.7)
• linux linux kernel 6.11
