Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-14 16:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:21
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
4.7 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
4.7 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix race in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
syzbot and Eulgyu Kim reported crashes in mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id()
and/or mptcp_pm_nl_is_backup()
Root cause is list_splice_init() in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
which is not RCU ready.
list_splice_init_rcu() can not be called here while holding pernet->lock
spinlock.
Many thanks to Eulgyu Kim for providing a repro and testing our patches.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
