CVE-2022-50217: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: write inode in fuse_release() A race between write(2) and close(2) allows pages to be dirtied after fuse_flush -> write_inode_now(). If these pages are not flushed from fuse_release(), then there might not be a writable open file later. So any remaining dirty pages must be written back before the file is released. This is a partial revert of the blamed commit.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.16, before 5.18.18 (fixed in 5.18.18); from 5.19, before 5.19.2 (fixed in 5.19.2)
