Early Access — Mondoo Vulnerability Intelligence is currently in preview.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: prevent BPF accessing lowat from a subflow socket.
Alexei reported the following splat:

The root cause of the issue is that bpf allows accessing mptcp-level proto_ops from a tcp subflow scope.
Fix the issue detecting the problematic call and preventing any action.
