Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 14:09:15 UTC
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.
