In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fastopen: only mark MPTFO subflows with SYN data
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".
