DescriptionCVE.org

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

tcp: cdg: allow tcp_cdg_release() to be called multiple times

Apparently, mptcp is able to call tcp_disconnect() on an already disconnected flow. This is generally fine, unless current congestion control is CDG, because it might trigger a double-free [1]

Instead of fixing MPTCP, and future bugs, we can make tcp_disconnect() more resilient.
