Official description
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().
