Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: userspace: fix use-after-free in get_local_id
In mptcp_pm_userspace_get_local_id(), the address entry is looked up under
spinlock, but its id is read after dropping the lock. A concurrent deletion
can free the entry between the unlock and the read, leading to UAF.
The race window is narrow. It was reproduced only with a locally
constructed stress test that repeatedly overlaps an MP_JOIN SYN with a
MPTCP_PM_CMD_SUBFLOW_DESTROY request.
However, the KASAN report below confirms that the race is reachable:

Fix by copying the id into a local variable while still holding the lock,
and use -1 as a "not found" sentinel.
