Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-47152
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the MPTCP protocol in the Linux kernel, where the `mptcp frag can collapse to()` function assumes that only MPTCP will use the given page frag. However, if other protocols, such as plain TCP, allocate page fragments, it can lead to re-using already allocated memory for `mptcp data frag`. This can cause data stream corruption when forcing a TCP transparent proxy to use the MPTCP protocol for inbound connections.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
