CVE-2025-68227

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

mptcp: Fix proto fallback detection with BPF

The sockmap feature allows bpf syscall from userspace, or based
on bpf sockops, replacing the sk_prot of sockets during protocol stack
processing with sockmap’s custom read/write interfaces.
”’
tcp_rcv_state_process()
syn_recv_sock()/subflow_syn_recv_sock()
tcp_init_transfer(BPF_SOCK_OPS_PASSIVE_ESTABLISHED_CB)
bpf_skops_established <== sockops bpf_sock_map_update(sk) <== call bpf helper tcp_bpf_update_proto() <== update sk_prot ''' When the server has MPTCP enabled but the client sends a TCP SYN without MPTCP, subflow_syn_recv_sock() performs a fallback on the subflow, replacing the subflow sk's sk_prot with the native sk_prot. ''' subflow_syn_recv_sock() subflow_ulp_fallback() subflow_drop_ctx() mptcp_subflow_ops_undo_override() ''' Then, this subflow can be normally used by sockmap, which replaces the native sk_prot with sockmap's custom sk_prot. The issue occurs when the user executes accept::mptcp_stream_accept::mptcp_fallback_tcp_ops(). Here, it uses sk->sk_prot to compare with the native sk_prot, but this
is incorrect when sockmap is used, as we may incorrectly set
sk->sk_socket->ops.

This fix uses the more generic sk_family for the comparison instead.

Additionally, this also prevents a WARNING from occurring:
