CVE-2026-33150: Use After Free in libfuse

libfuse is the reference implementation of the Linux FUSE. From version 3.18.0 to before version 3.18.2, a use-after-free vulnerability in the io_uring subsystem of libfuse allows a local attacker to crash FUSE filesystem processes and potentially execute arbitrary code. When io_uring thread creation fails due to resource exhaustion (e.g., cgroup pids.max), fuse_uring_start() frees the ring pool structure but stores the dangling pointer in the session state, leading to a use-after-free when the session shuts down. The trigger is reliable in containerized environments where cgroup pids.max limits naturally constrain thread creation. This issue has been patched in version 3.18.2.
