Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: ensure snd_una is properly initialized on connect This is strictly related to commit fb7a0d334894 ("mptcp: ensure snd_nxt is properly initialized on connect"). It turns out that syzkaller can trigger the retransmit after fallback and before processing any other incoming packet - so that snd_una is still left uninitialized. Address the issue explicitly initializing snd_una together with snd_nxt and write_seq.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.9 < 5.10.221) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.162) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.95) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.35) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.9.6) • linux linux kernel 6.10
