CVE-2025-21641

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: sysctl: blackhole timeout: avoid using current->nsproxy

As mentioned in the previous commit, using the 'net' structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:

• Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only from the opener's netns.

• current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops' (null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by syzbot [1] using acct(2).

The 'pernet' structure can be obtained from the table->data using container_of().
