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...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-53183

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - mptcp: allow subflow rcv wnd to shrink In MPTCP connection, the window field in the TCP header refers to the MPTCP-level rcvnxt and it's right edge should not...

CVE-2026-53183

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multipath TCP MPTCP implementation. This vulnerability occurs because the TCP stack independently manages the TCP-level receive window, which can lead to an artificial inflation of the MPTCP receive window. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53183

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: allow subflow rcv wnd to shrink In MPTCP connection, the window field in the TCP header refers to the MPTCP-level rcvnxt and it's right edge should not move backward. Such constraint is enforced at DSS option generation...

CVE-2026-53183 mptcp: allow subflow rcv wnd to shrink

CVE-2026-53183

CVE-2026-53183 affects the Linux kernel MPTCP implementation. The issue allows the TCP subflow receive window to shrink independently of the netns, which can inflate the MPTCP receive window and cause incoming data to exceed the receiver’s rcvbuf, potentially leading to DoS or a system becoming u...

PT-2026-52279

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel affected versions not specified Description An issue exists in the Multipath TCP MPTCP implementation where the window field in the TCP header refers to the MPTCP-level rcv nxt. Because the TCP stack independently prevents the...
