Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 1/3] mptcp: hold mptcp socket before calling tcp_done
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:40:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919204002.2106015-6-matttbe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919204002.2106015-5-matttbe@kernel.org>

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

commit ab82e996a1fa1b9ae514fa357d9ce8df62321157 upstream.

When processing options from tcp reset path its possible that
tcp_done(ssk) drops the last reference on the mptcp socket which
results in use-after-free.

[ Conflicts in subflow.c, because commit 3ba14528684f ("mptcp: avoid
  setting TCP_CLOSE state twice") has already been backported and also
  had the same conflict: this commit here should have been backported
  first. Fixed now! ]
