From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d3ab78858f1451351221061a1c365495df196500 ] If an msk listener receives an MPJ carrying an invalid token, it will zero the request socket msk entry. That should later cause fallback and subflow reset - as per RFC - at subflow_syn_recv_sock() time due to failing hmac validation. Since commit 4cf8b7e48a09 ("subflow: introduce and use mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow()"), we unconditionally dereference - in mptcp_can_accept_new_subflow - the subflow request msk before performing hmac validation. In the above scenario we hit a NULL ptr dereference. Address the issue doing the hmac validation earlier.
