Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix NULL pointer dereference on fastopen early fallback In case of early fallback to TCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() deletes the subflow context before returning the newly allocated sock to the caller. The fastopen path does not cope with the above unconditionally dereferencing the subflow context.
