In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: clear 'kern' flag from fallback sockets
The mptcp ULP extension relies on sk->sk_sock_kern being set correctly:
It prevents setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ULP, "mptcp", 6); from
working for plain tcp sockets (any userspace-exposed socket).
But in case of fallback, accept() can return a plain tcp sk.
In such case, sk is still tagged as 'kernel' and setsockopt will work.
This will crash the kernel, The subflow extension has a NULL ctx->conn
mptcp socket:
