Vulnerability Details : CVE-2021-47591
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: remove tcp ulp setsockopt support
TCP_ULP setsockopt cannot be used for mptcp because its already
used internally to plumb subflow (tcp) sockets to the mptcp layer.
syzbot managed to trigger a crash for mptcp connections that are
in fallback mode:
