It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47591 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47591/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47591/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47591","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47591/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47591","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47591","GHSA-9hfm-p748-vm54","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47591"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel MPTCP module allows local attackers to cause a system crash via TCP_ULP setsockopt.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmptcp: remove tcp ulp setsockopt support\n\nTCP_ULP setsockopt cannot be used for mptcp because its already\nused internally to plumb subflow (tcp) sockets to the mptcp layer.\n\nsyzbot managed to trigger a crash for mptcp connections that are\nin fallback mode:\n\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027]\nCPU: 1 PID: 1083 Comm: syz-executor.3 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc2-syzkaller #0\nRIP: 0010:tls_build_proto net/tls/tls_main.c:776 [inline]\n[..]\n __tcp_set_ulp net/ipv4/tcp_ulp.c:139 [inline]\n tcp_set_ulp+0x428/0x4c0 net/ipv4/tcp_ulp.c:160\n do_tcp_setsockopt+0x455/0x37c0 net/ipv4/tcp.c:3391\n mptcp_setsockopt+0x1b47/0x2400 net/mptcp/sockopt.c:638\n\nRemove support for TCP_ULP setsockopt.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"mptcp: remove tcp ulp setsockopt support","id":"CVE-2021-47591","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"net: stmmac: fix tc flower deletion for VLAN priority Rx steering","id":"CVE-2021-47592"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mptcp: fix deadlock in __mptcp_push_pending()","id":"CVE-2021-47590"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-06-19","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel MPTCP module allows local attackers to cause a system crash via TCP_ULP setsockopt.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47591/"}
