Very low probability of exploitation
EPSS predicts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days based on real-world threat data, complementing CVSS severity scores with actual risk assessment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: Initialise rcv_mss before calling tcp_send_active_reset() in mptcp_do_fastclose().
syzbot reported divide-by-zero in __tcp_select_window() by MPTCP socket. [0]
We had a similar issue for the bare TCP and fixed in commit 499350a5a6e7 ("tcp: initialize rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0").
Let's apply the same fix to mptcp_do_fastclose().
