In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: prevent BPF accessing lowat from a subflow socket.

Alexei reported the following splat:

The root cause of the issue is that bpf allows accessing mptcp-level
proto_ops from a tcp subflow scope.

Fix the issue detecting the problematic call and preventing any action.
