That will move the msk socket to an inconsistent status and the next incoming data will hit the reported splat. Close the race moving the simult-fallback check at the earliest possible stage - that is at syn-ack generation time. About the fixes tags: [2] was supposed to also fix this issue introduced by [3]. [1] is required as a dependence: it was not explicitly marked as a fix, but it is one and it has already been backported before [3]. In other words, this commit should be backported up to [3], including [2] and [1] if that's not already there. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-71088 to this issue.

Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to older supported kernel versions. The official CVE entry at https://cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2025-71088 will be updated if fixes are backported, please check that for the most up to date information about this issue. Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: net/mptcp/options.c net/mptcp/protocol.h net/mptcp/subflow.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5f46a08269265e2f5e87d855287d6d22de0a32b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c9bf315228287653522894df9d851e9b43db9516 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79f80a7a47849ef1b3c25a0bedcc448b9cb551c1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25f1ae942c097b7ae4ce5c2b9c6fefb8e3672b86 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/71154bbe49423128c1c8577b6576de1ed6836830
