NewCVE-2022-49775 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.3 kernel-default-devel to version 5.3.18-150300.59.207.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-devel package and not the kernel-default-devel package as distributed by SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.
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.
