Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: stricter state check in mptcp_worker As reported by Christoph, the mptcp protocol can run the worker when the relevant msk socket is in an unexpected state: connect() // incoming reset + fastclose // the mptcp worker is scheduled mptcp_disconnect() // msk is now CLOSED listen() mptcp_worker() Leading to the following splat: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU: 1 PID: 21 Comm: kworker/1:0 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-gde5e8fd0123c #11 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.11.0-2.el7 04/01/2014 Workqueue: events mptcp_worker RIP: 0010:__tcp_select_window+0x22c/0x4b0 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:3018 RSP: 0018:ffffc900000b3c98 EFLAGS: 00010293 RAX: 000000000000ffd7 RBX: 000000000000ffd7 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff8214ce97 RDI: 0000000000000004 RBP: 000000000000ffd7 R08: 0000000000000004 R09: 0000000000010000 R10: 000000000000ffd7 R11: ffff888005afa148 R12: 000000000000ffd7 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88803ed00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000405270 CR3: 000000003011e006 CR4: 0000000000370ee0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> tcp_select_window net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:262 [inline] __tcp_transmit_skb+0x356/0x1280 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:1345 tcp_transmit_skb net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:1417 [inline] tcp_send_active_reset+0x13e/0x320 net/ipv4/tcp_output.c:3459 mptcp_check_fastclose net/mptcp/protocol.c:2530 [inline] mptcp_worker+0x6c7/0x800 net/mptcp/protocol.c:2705 process_one_work+0x3bd/0x950 kernel/workqueue.c:2390 worker_thread+0x5b/0x610 kernel/workqueue.c:2537 kthread+0x138/0x170 kernel/kthread.c:376 ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x50 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:308 </TASK> This change addresses the issue explicitly checking for bad states before running the mptcp worker.
