Subject: [PATCH mptcp-next v2 3/3] mptcp: pm: userspace: cap extra_subflows on Netlink subflow creation
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 21:14:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903131416.1112393-4-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903131416.1112393-1-cui.tao@linux.dev>
From: Quanye Yang <quanyeyang@proton.me>
mptcp_pm_nl_subflow_create_doit() also increments the u8 extra_subflows
counter without any limit: a client with CAP_NET_ADMIN can create more
than 255 extra subflows via Netlink and wrap the counter back to 0,
with the same effects as the MP_JOIN path now bounded separately:
the underflow guards warn on the next subflow close, and
mptcpi_subflows_total reported to userspace is corrupted.
Refuse the subflow creation with -ENOSPC once the counter has reached
U8_MAX, and clean up the local address entry in that case as well.
Fixes: 77e4b94a3de6 ("mptcp: update userspace pm infos")
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260902-mptcp-pm-extra-subflows-v1-1-68540a866e5a@proton.me/
Closes: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/629
