Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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(). [0]: Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 6068 Comm:
