Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: fix ID 0 endp usage after multiple re-creations
'local_addr_used' and 'add_addr_accepted' are decremented for addresses
not related to the initial subflow (ID0), because the source and
destination addresses of the initial subflows are known from the
beginning: they don't count as "additional local address being used" or
"ADD_ADDR being accepted".
It is then required not to increment them when the entrypoint used by
the initial subflow is removed and re-added during a connection. Without
this modification, this entrypoint cannot be removed and re-added more
than once.
