Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mptcp: never allow the PM to close a listener subflow<br />
<br />
Currently, when deleting an endpoint the netlink PM treverses<br />
all the local MPTCP sockets, regardless of their status.<br />
<br />
If an MPTCP listener socket is bound to the IP matching the<br />
delete endpoint, the listener TCP socket will be closed.<br />
That is unexpected, the PM should only affect data subflows.<br />
<br />
Additionally, syzbot was able to trigger a NULL ptr dereference<br />
due to the above:<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000003: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN<br />
