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)
