## Overview

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

mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: fix potential data-race

This mptcp_pm_add_timer() helper is executed as a timer callback in
softirq context. To avoid any data races, the socket lock needs to be
held with bh_lock_sock().

If the socket is in use, retry again soon after, similar to what is done
with the keepalive timer.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 5.10, < 5.10.259`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.210`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.176`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.141`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.91`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.30`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.7`
- `linux_kernel = 7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 7.0.7`
