CVE-2026-97524
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: avoid unneeded actions on subflow reset
Once in a blue moon, the mptcp receive path can recursively call mptcp_data_ready() via state change under unlucky error conditions, and then try to hold the data lock again.
Break the recursion loop explicitly checking for the exceptional condition.
Add a new flag instead of using an existing one like 'closing', to exit early in subflow_state_change(), and explicitly flush the RX queue at reset time.
This avoids unneeded processing to check for available data -- calling get_mapping_status() and more on a dying subflow -- but also in error reporting and worker scheduling.

Note that we must consume the currently peeked skb before invoking mptcp_dss_corruption to avoid consuming it again after the eventual reset has freed it.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
