mptcp: pm: fix memory leak from alloc-during-teardown race

2026-08-27T12:29:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit efc33b5102ff859bacd390a5f30112d8e0c084c0 ] mptcp_pm_destroy() empties msk->pm.anno_list and msk->pm.userspace_pm_local_addr_list under msk->pm.lock during socket teardown, dropping the lock between the two. A concurrent userspace PM genl ANNOUNCE on the same msk holds a sock reference via mptcp_token_get_sock() and, in mptcp_pm_nl_announce_doit(), calls mptcp_userspace_pm_append_new_local_addr() and mptcp_pm_announced_alloc(). Both take msk->pm.lock briefly to add to their respective lists. Because the genl handler holds a sock reference, mptcp_pm_destroy() may run on the same msk via mptcp_disconnect(), which invokes mptcp_destroy_common() without dropping the sock refcount, before the handler completes. If the lock acquisitions interleave such that mptcp_pm_destroy() empties a list first, the later alloc adds its entry to a list head that nothing else iterates for this msk, and the entry leaks. kmemleak reports both mptcp_pm_add_addr objects (from mptcp_pm_announced_alloc()) and mptcp_pm_addr_entry objects (from mptcp_userspace_pm_append_new_local_addr()) under sustained concurrent ANNOUNCE + close load against the userspace PM. Add an MPTCP_PM_DESTROYING bit in msk->pm.status, set by mptcp_pm_destroy() under pm.lock before the lists are emptied and checked under pm.lock by the alloc paths. Either the alloc takes pm.lock first, in which case its entry is on the list when mptcp_pm_destroy() frees it; or mptcp_pm_destroy() takes pm.lock first, in which case the later alloc observes the bit and refuses. Found by an MPTCP protocol-flow harness extending BRF (arXiv:2305.08782).

mptcp: pm: fix data race in add_addr timer callback

2026-08-27T12:29:47+00:00

[ Upstream commit a7aad5b69d3bdaec20a3ed9284e184502450c0cd ] The timer callback reads entry->retrans_times outside pm.lock to decide whether to call mptcp_pm_subflow_established(). Since mptcp_pm_announced_del_timer() can concurrently set retrans_times = ADD_ADDR_RETRANS_MAX under pm.lock, a race condition exists. I discovered this issue while studying the code. AI tools helped me to verify the issue can potentially happen under race conditions. Use a local 'retransmit' flag set inside pm.lock to capture whether retransmission is still possible when the lock is taken. This allows to call mptcp_pm_subflow_established() accordingly, and not depending on the situation that can be different when checked outside the pm.lock.

mptcp: fastopen: only mark MPTFO subflows with SYN data

2026-08-23T12:19:57+00:00

commit e00b63056fb4f261455b3e5df5268a1f8ce47a87 upstream. Passive TCP Fast Open accepts a valid-cookie SYN even when it carries no data. In that case the child socket's receive queue is intentionally left empty. mptcp_fastopen_subflow_synack_set_params() set is_mptfo before checking for queued SYN data. That made data-less TFO SYNs hit a WARN and, if the warning was non-fatal, left stale MPTFO state behind. The stale flag could later trigger a state-confusion bug in check_fully_established(). Only mark the subflow as MPTFO after confirming that an SKB was queued. Return quietly when the receive queue is empty. Note that mptcp_subflow_context's is_mptfo field is now not just about subflows where the TFO was present, but about MPTFO subflow that consumed SYN data. Only having a valid cookie but not carrying data is not really "doing TFO".

mptcp: options: reset DSS fields in case of unexpected size

2026-08-23T12:19:57+00:00

commit 35772b4981f38ba8059372cde8753e8e477e98ec upstream. A remote peer could send a malformed DSS with a wrong size, followed by another DSS or MPC + Data. In this case, the first suboption will be ignored, but leaving some fields written, which could lead to inconsistency or access uninitialized data. Explicitly reset the fields that could have been modified in case of unexpected size.

mptcp: avoid combining some incoming suboptions

2026-08-23T12:19:56+00:00

commit b6ee361524641f57b2e2363f7737f20e17f67827 upstream. Some MPTCP suboptions are mutually exclusive according to the RFC8684, but also because in different places, the code doesn't expect some combinations to be present. That's specially true for suboptions that would be present twice, but with different attributes. The new restrictions are the same as the ones applied on the output side, with mptcp_write_options. The same rules can be reused with a small fix: an MP_FASTCLOSE can be used with a DSS when the sender picks this option [1], which is not the case on Linux. Here are the rules: Which options can be used together? X: mutually exclusive O: often used together C: can be used together in some cases P: could be used together but we prefer not to (optimisations) | Opt: | MPC | MPJ | DSS | ADD | RM | PRIO | FAIL | FC | |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | MPC |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | MPJ | X |------|------|------|------|------|------|------| | DSS | X | X |------|------|------|------|------|------| | ADD | X | X | P |------|------|------|------|------| | RM | C | C | C | P |------|------|------|------| | PRIO | X | C | C | C | C |------|------|------| | FAIL | X | X | C | X | X | X |------|------| | FC | X | X | P | X | X | X | X |------| | RST | X | X | X | X | X | X | O | O | |------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------| The only difference is with the 'P': another stack could send and ADD_ADDR with other suboptions (DSS, RM_ADDR), and this should be allowed. A few points of attention: - In theory, an MP_CAPABLE could be used with a RM_ADDR, but there is no reason to add it with a SYN. Note that even with a 4th ACK, it doesn't seem to be useful, except when IDs are known in advance via another channel. Better not to break that. - Now, combining both an MP_CAPABLE and an MP_JOIN will no longer result to a reject of the two options, but only the second suboption is ignored. That seems OK to do that for this unexpected error. At least now all inconsistent combinations are handled the same way. This could change later in next. This also means the explicit checks for having both MPC + MPJ in subflow.c will now be unreachable. That's fine, they will be removed in a follow-up patch. - In case of conflicting combinations, the extra suboption(s) is/are ignored: having such combinations either means the remote peer is buggy, or is evil. The simplest action is then taken in this case: stop processing the current suboption. - In mp_opt->suboptions, there is also a bit reserved to the checksum, which can be used in an MP_CAPABLE and a DSS. Each time a DSS option can be used in parallel with another option, the checksum can be set, so the verification is combined into a new OPTIONS_MPTCP_DSS macro. - An MP_CAPABLE ACK can carry a Data-Level Length, and an optional Checksum: they are the same as the ones found in a DSS, because a DSS cannot be used in parallel to an MP_CAPABLE. Similarly, even if there is room, a DSS cannot be used with an MP_JOIN.

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

2026-08-09T18:22:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 9bc6d5e4ca9f3cbb41d43400b3a31cb0403796c9 ] 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: [ 666.319376] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in mptcp_userspace_pm_get_local_id+0x1dc/0x1f0 [ 666.319386] Read of size 1 at addr ffff888124845610 by task swapper/0/0 ...
