Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors. After commit 9db5b3cec4ec ("mptcp: borrow forward memory from subflow"), errors in the receive path prior to queueing skbs into the receive queue do not trigger forward-allocated memory reclaiming. Prevent forward memory from growing unboundedly in pathological drop scenarios by explicitly reclaiming memory when skbs are dropped.

Risk Assessment

Failure to reclaim memory can lead to system memory exhaustion, potentially resulting in system crash or denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that addresses this issue.
