Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix possible stall on recvmsg() recvmsg() can enter an infinite loop if the caller provides the
MSG_WAITALL, the data present in the receive queue is not sufficient to
fulfill the request, and no more data is received by the peer. When the above happens, mptcp_wait_data() will always return with
no wait, as the MPTCP_DATA_READY flag checked by such function is
set and never cleared in such code path. Leveraging the above syzbot was able to trigger an RCU stall: rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mptcp: corrige posible bloqueo en recvmsg() recvmsg() puede entrar en un bucle infinito si la persona que llama proporciona MSG_WAITALL, los datos presentes en la cola de recepción no son suficientes para cumplir con la solicitud y el par no recibe más datos. Cuando sucede lo anterior, mptcp_wait_data() siempre regresará sin espera, ya que el indicador MPTCP_DATA_READY verificado por dicha función se establece y nunca se borra en dicha ruta de código.
