linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix NULL pointer in can_accept_new_subflow
When testing valkey benchmark tool with MPTCP, the kernel panics in
'mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow' because subflow_req->msk is NULL.
Call trace:
mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:63 (discriminator 4)) (P)
subflow_syn_recv_sock (./net/mptcp/subflow.c:854)
tcp_check_req (./net/ipv4/tcp_minisocks.c:863)
tcp_v4_rcv (./net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c:2268)
ip_protocol_deliver_rcu (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:207)
ip_local_deliver_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:234)
ip_local_deliver (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:254)
ip_rcv_finish (./net/ipv4/ip_input.c:449)
...
According to the debug log, the same req received two SYN-ACK in a very
short time, very likely because the client retransmits the syn ack due
to multiple reasons.
Even if the packets are transmitted with a relevant time interval, they
can be processed by the server on different CPUs concurrently). The
