      <title>CVE-2022-50071 — mptcp: move subflow cleanup in mptcp_destroy_common()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2022-50071</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mptcp: move subflow cleanup in mptcp_destroy_common()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the mptcp socket creation fails due to a CGROUP_INET_SOCK_CREATE
eBPF program, the MPTCP protocol ends-up leaking all the subflows:
the related cleanup happens in __mptcp_destroy_sock() that is not
invoked in such code path.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Address the issue moving the subflow sockets cleanup in the
mptcp_destroy_common() helper, which is invoked in every msk cleanup
path.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally get rid of the intermediate list_splice_init step, which
is an unneeded relic from the past.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The issue is present since before the reported root cause commit, but
any attempt to backport the fix before that hash will require a complete
rewrite.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
