Description

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

mptcp: fix double-free on socket dismantle

when MPTCP server accepts an incoming connection, it clones its listener
socket. However, the pointer to 'inet_opt' for the new socket has the same
value as the original one: as a consequence, on program exit it's possible
to observe the following splat:
