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

cuse: wait for pending RCU callbacks on module exit

Since commit 053fc4f755ad ("fuse: fix UAF in rcu pathwalks"),
fuse_conn_put() frees the fuse_conn through call_rcu() rather than
synchronously. For cuse, fc->release is cuse_fc_release(), which
lives in the cuse module. If the module is removed before the RCU
grace period ends, the callback jumps into freed module memory:

userspace / module unload | RCU softirq
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
close(/dev/cuse) |
cuse_channel_release() |
fuse_dev_release() |
fuse_conn_put(fch->conn) |
call_rcu(delayed_release) ------+---> callback queued
|
rmmod cuse |
cuse_exit() |
cuse_channel_destroy() |
... |
return |
|
<module text freed> |
| rcu_do_batch()
| delayed_release()
| fc->release()
| -> cuse_fc_release()
| ^^^ freed text!

The freed module text is unmapped by vfree(), so the jump into the
stale callback triggers a page-fault Oops. If the virtual address
is subsequently reused, the callback could execute unrelated code
(undefined behaviour).

Fix this by calling rcu_barrier() in cuse_exit() so that any pending
fuse_conn release callback completes before the module is removed.
