CVE-2026-68169 — mptcp: pm: userspace: fix use-after-free in get_local_id

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: pm: userspace: fix use-after-free in get_local_id

In mptcp_pm_userspace_get_local_id(), the address entry is looked up under spinlock, but its id is read after dropping the lock. A concurrent deletion can free the entry between the unlock and the read, leading to UAF.

The race window is narrow. It was reproduced only with a locally constructed stress test that repeatedly overlaps an MP_JOIN SYN with a MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY request.

However, the KASAN report below confirms that the race is reachable:
