DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd

syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug, added in initial support for MTU probing.

tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11.

But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later and before the MTU probe succeeds.

This bug would lead to potential zero-divides.

Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :)

While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code.
