Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd<br />
<br />
syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug,<br />
added in initial support for MTU probing.<br />
<br />
tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if<br />
tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11.<br />
<br />
But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later<br />
and before the MTU probe succeeds.<br />
<br />
This bug would lead to potential zero-divides.<br />
<br />
Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors<br />
to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :)<br />
<br />
While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code.<br />
<br />
