Linux kernel: Fuse filesystem flaw impacts data integrity and system availability
CVE: CVE-2025-38357
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-459
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 6.2/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L
Release date: 2025-07-25T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fuse: fix runtime warning on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals()

The WARN_ON_ONCE is introduced on truncate_folio_batch_exceptionals() to
capture whether the filesystem has removed all DAX entries or not.

And the fix has been applied on the filesystem xfs and ext4 by the commit
0e2f80afcfa6 ("fs/dax: ensure all pages are idle prior to filesystem
unmount").

Apply the missed fix on filesystem fuse to fix the runtime warning:
