Summary
mptcp: fix uninitialized local_id in syncookie MP_JOIN reconstruction
Details

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

mptcp: fix uninitialized local_id in syncookie MP_JOIN reconstruction

mptcp_token_join_cookie_init_state() restores remote_nonce, local_nonce, backup, join_id, token and msk from the saved cookie entry when rebuilding the request socket for a MP_JOIN 4th-ACK handled under SYN cookies, but it does not restore local_id, even though the SYN path saved it. subflow_ulp_clone() then reads that uninitialized field and stores it as the joined subflow's address-ID. Because the request-sock slab is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and not zeroed on allocation, the value is the stale byte of a previously freed request socket, which an off-path peer can influence by sending concurrent MP_JOIN SYNs. This corrupts the path manager's id-based subflow bookkeeping for the connection.

Restore subflow_req->local_id from the cookie entry, as done for the other fields.
