Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: Fix crash due to tcp_tsorted_anchor was initialized before release skb Got crash when doing pressure test of mptcp: =========================================================================== dst_release: dst:ffffa06ce6e5c058 refcnt:-1 kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt?

In this case skb->_skb_refdst is not null because_skb_refdst and tcp_tsorted_anchor are stored in the same mem, and kfree_skb will try to release dst and cause crash.
