In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix NULL pointer dereference on fastopen early fallback
In case of early fallback to TCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() deletes
the subflow context before returning the newly allocated sock to
the caller.
The fastopen path does not cope with the above unconditionally
dereferencing the subflow context.
