Overview
About vulnerability
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.
Details
- Affected product:
- AlmaLinux 9.2 ESU , TuxCare 9.6 ESU
- Affected packages:
- kernel @ 5.14.0 (+1 more)
