In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: limit FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE to uptodate folios FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE must be limited to uptodate folios; !uptodate folios can contain uninitialized data. Since FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE is intended to only return data that is already in the page cache and not wait for data from the FUSE daemon, treat !uptodate folios as if they weren't present. This only has security impact on systems that don't enable automatic zero-initialization of all page allocations via CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON or init_on_alloc=1.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) component. The FUSE_NOTIFY_RETRIEVE operation did not properly restrict access to up-to-date folios, potentially allowing the exposure of uninitialized data from the page cache. This information disclosure vulnerability could allow an attacker to access sensitive information. This issue primarily affects systems where automatic zero-initialization of page allocations is not enabled.
