Overview

CVE-2026-80946 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

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

fuse: copy request headers via a stack buffer for io-uring

The fuse-io-uring transport copies req->in.h out to the ring in

fuse_uring_copy_to_ring() and req->out.h back in fuse_uring_commit().

Both headers live inside the fuse_request slab object, whose cache

(fuse_req_cachep) is created without a usercopy whitelist, so copying

them directly to/from userspace trips CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY and

panics:

usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object

'fuse_request' (offset 56, size 40)!

kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:102!

Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI

RIP: 0010:usercopy_abort (mm/usercopy.c:90)

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80946?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80946 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
