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

mptcp: remove tcp ulp setsockopt support

TCP_ULP setsockopt cannot be used for mptcp because its already
used internally to plumb subflow (tcp) sockets to the mptcp layer.

syzbot managed to trigger a crash for mptcp connections that are
in fallback mode:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027]

Remove support for TCP_ULP setsockopt.
