CVE-2024-45010

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: pm: only mark ‘subflow’ endp as available

Adding the following warning …

WARN_ON_ONCE(msk->pm.local_addr_used == 0)

… before decrementing the local_addr_used counter helped to find a bug
when running the “remove single address” subtest from the mptcp_join.sh
selftests.

Removing a ‘signal’ endpoint will trigger the removal of all subflows
linked to this endpoint via mptcp_pm_nl_rm_addr_or_subflow() with
rm_type == MPTCP_MIB_RMSUBFLOW. This will decrement the local_addr_used
counter, which is wrong in this case because this counter is linked to
‘subflow’ endpoints, and here it is a ‘signal’ endpoint that is being
removed.

Now, the counter is decremented, only if the ID is being used outside
of mptcp_pm_nl_rm_addr_or_subflow(), only for ‘subflow’ endpoints, and
if the ID is not 0 – local_addr_used is not taking into account these
ones. This marking of the ID as being available, and the decrement is
done no matter if a subflow using this ID is currently available,
because the subflow could have been closed before.
