Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: really cope with fastopen race Fastopen and PM-trigger subflow shutdown can race, as reported by
syzkaller. In my first attempt to close such race, I missed the fact that
the subflow status can change again before the subflow_state_change
callback is invoked. Address the issue additionally copying with all the states directly
reachable from TCP_FIN_WAIT1.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: mptcp: realmente se adapta a la ejecución fastopen. El cierre del subflujo Fastopen y PM-trigger puede correr, según lo informado por syzkaller. En mi primer intento de cerrar dicha ejecución, me perdí el hecho de que el estado del subflujo puede cambiar nuevamente antes de que se invoque la devolución de llamada subflow_state_change. Solucione el problema copiando adicionalmente todos los estados a los que se puede acceder directamente desde TCP_FIN_WAIT1.

A vulnerability was found in the subflow_simultaneous_connect() function in the mptcp component in the Linux kernel, where not all possible subflow states are evaluated, leading to a potential race condition. This issue could lead to undefined network behavior.
