Subject: [PATCH v2] mptcp: only set DATA_FIN when a mapping is present
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 13:17:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707171730.2679013-1-michael.bommarito@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2edcb1cd-f2db-4d0c-a0e3-fd2b4dd820fe@redhat.com>
mptcp_get_options() clears only the status group of struct
mptcp_options_received; data_seq, subflow_seq and data_len are filled in
by mptcp_parse_option() exclusively inside the DSS mapping block, which
runs only when the DSS M (mapping present) bit is set.
A peer can send a DSS option with the DATA_FIN flag set but the mapping
bit clear. The parser then records mp_opt->data_fin while leaving
data_len and data_seq uninitialized. For a zero-length segment
mptcp_incoming_options() evaluates
if (mp_opt.data_fin && mp_opt.data_len == 1 &&
mptcp_update_rcv_data_fin(msk, mp_opt.data_seq, mp_opt.dsn64))
which reads the uninitialized data_len and data_seq; KMSAN reports an
uninit-value in mptcp_incoming_options(). The stale data_seq can also be
fed into the receive-side DATA_FIN sequence tracking.
Record the DATA_FIN flag only when the DSS option carries a mapping, so
data_fin is never set without data_seq and data_len also being present.
data_fin is part of the status group that mptcp_get_options() clears up
front, so on the no-map path it stays zero and the zero-length DATA_FIN
branch is simply skipped. A DATA_FIN is always transmitted together with
a mapping (mptcp_write_data_fin() sets use_map along with data_seq and
data_len), so legitimate DATA_FIN handling is unaffected.

v2: adopt Paolo Abeni's suggested approach - do not set mp_opt->data_fin
at all unless a mapping is present, rather than gating the consumer in
mptcp_incoming_options() (v1). data_fin then defaults to the value
mptcp_get_options() already clears it to (0) on the no-map path, so
the uninitialized data_len/data_seq are never read.
