kernel: mptcp: fix slab-use-after-free in __inet_lookup_established

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multipath TCP MPTCP implementation. Due to incorrect memory allocation for IPv6 subflow child sockets, a use-after-free vulnerability exists. A remote attacker could exploit this by triggering concurrent lookups in the kernel's hash table, potentially leadin...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix slab-use-after-free in inetlookupestablished The ehash table lookups are lockless and rely on SLABTYPESAFEBYRCU to guarantee socket memory stability during RCU read-side critical sections. Both tcpprot and tcpv6prot ha...
