Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26782)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2024-26782). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix double-free on socket dismantle
when MPTCP server accepts an incoming connection, it clones its listener
socket. However, the pointer to 'inet_opt' for the new socket has the same
value as the original one: as a consequence, on program exit it's possible
to observe the following splat:
