MEDIUM

Linux Kernel 5.7-5.10.42 5.12.9-5.12.* 5.13 - Out-of-bounds Write in MPTCP Data Fragment Handling

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: fix data stream corruption Maxim reported several issues when forcing a TCP transparent proxy to use the MPTCP protocol for the inbound connections. He also provided a clean reproducer. The problem boils down to 'mptcp_frag_can_collapse_to()' assuming that only MPTCP will use the given page_frag. If others - e.g. the plain TCP protocol - allocate page fragments, we can end-up re-using already allocated memory for mptcp_data_frag. Fix the issue ensuring that the to-be-expanded data fragment is located at the current page frag end. v1 -> v2: - added missing fixes tag (Mat)
