Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] mptcp: Fix data stream corruption in the address
 announcement

From: Arthur Mongodin <amongodin@...dorisec.fr>

Because of the size restriction in the TCP options space, the MPTCP
ADD_ADDR option is exclusive and cannot be sent with other MPTCP ones.
For this reason, in the linked mptcp_out_options structure, group of
fields linked to different options are part of the same union.

There is a case where the mptcp_pm_add_addr_signal() function can modify
opts->addr, but not ended up sending an ADD_ADDR. Later on, back in
mptcp_established_options, other options will be sent, but with
unexpected data written in other fields due to the union, e.g. in
opts->ext_copy. This could lead to a data stream corruption in the next
packet.

Using an intermediate variable, prevents from corrupting previously
established DSS option. The assignment of the ADD_ADDR option
parameters is now done once we are sure this ADD_ADDR option can be set
in the packet, e.g. after having dropped other suboptions.
