What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: never allow the PM to close a listener subflow

Currently, when deleting an endpoint the netlink PM treverses

all the local MPTCP sockets, regardless of their status.

If an MPTCP listener socket is bound to the IP matching the

delete endpoint, the listener TCP socket will be closed.

That is unexpected, the PM should only affect data subflows.

Additionally, syzbot was able to trigger a NULL ptr dereference

due to the above:

general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000003: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000018-0x000000000000001f]
