CVE-2023-54176
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: stricter state check in mptcp_worker
As reported by Christoph, the mptcp protocol can run the worker when the relevant msk socket is in an unexpected state:
connect() // incoming reset + fastclose // the mptcp worker is scheduled mptcp_disconnect() // msk is now CLOSED listen() mptcp_worker()
Leading to the following splat:
This change addresses the issue explicitly checking for bad states before running the mptcp worker.
