CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's mptcp scheduler, where a race condition between the scheduler and subflow socket state changes can lead to data transmission failures. This issue may result in a divide-by-zero error during socket release operations, potentially causing system instability. Organizations using affected Linux kernel versions with mptcp enabled should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to ensure reliable data transmission and prevent potential crashes.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: close race between scheduler and state change The mptcp scheduler may race with subflow sockets state change: data transmission on the selected socket may fail and a later release could try to use mss_now reset to 0 for a divide operation. Address the issue by explicitly checking for the critical scenario.
