In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix NULL pointer dereference on fastopen early fallback
In case of early fallback to TCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() deletes
the subflow context before returning the newly allocated sock to
the caller.
The fastopen path does not cope with the above unconditionally
dereferencing the subflow context.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multipath TCP (mptcp) implementation. During an early fallback to TCP in the fastopen process, the system incorrectly deletes a subflow context before it is no longer needed. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, allowing a local attacker with low privileges to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the system.
