CVE-2026-33150, CVE-2026-33179: libfuse io_uring memory safety vulnerabilities (use-after-free, NULL deref)
Summary
Two memory safety vulnerabilities in libfuse's io_uring code path (introduced in 3.18.0) have been fixed in libfuse 3.18.2. Only the io_uring transport is affected; the traditional /dev/fuse path is not. Affected versions: libfuse >= 3.18.0, < 3.18.2 Fixed in: libfuse 3.18.2 https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse/releases/tag/fuse-3.18.2 CVE-2026-33150: Use-After-Free Severity: High (CVSS 7.8) CWE: CWE-416 Use-after-free in io_uring session shutdown path.
