Description

CVE-2024-35840 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s Multipath TCP (MPTCP) implementation. It occurs because the subflow_finish_connect() function may handle uninitialized data in certain fields if a specific MPTCP option (OPTION_MPTCP_MPJ_SYNACK) is not correctly set during option parsing. This could lead to unpredictable behavior in MPTCP connections. The issue has been resolved by ensuring proper initialization and handling of these fields.
