Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

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

mptcp: pm: Fix uaf in __timer_delete_sync

There are two paths to access mptcp_pm_del_add_timer, result in a race
condition:

 CPU1				CPU2
 ====                               ====
 net_rx_action
 napi_poll                          netlink_sendmsg
 __napi_poll                        netlink_unicast
 process_backlog                    netlink_unicast_kernel
 __netif_receive_skb                genl_rcv
 __netif_receive_skb_one_core       netlink_rcv_skb
 NF_HOOK                            genl_rcv_msg
 ip_local_deliver_finish            genl_family_rcv_msg
 ip_protocol_deliver_rcu            genl_family_rcv_msg_doit
 tcp_v4_rcv                         mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit
 tcp_v4_do_rcv                      mptcp_nl_remove_addrs_list
 tcp_rcv_established                mptcp_pm_remove_addrs_and_subflows
 tcp_data_queue                     remove_anno_list_by_saddr
 mptcp_incoming_options             mptcp_pm_del_add_timer
 mptcp_pm_del_add_timer             kfree(entry)

In remove_anno_list_by_saddr(running on CPU2), after leaving the critical
zone protected by “pm.lock”, the entry will be released, which leads to the
occurrence of uaf in the mptcp_pm_del_add_timer(running on CPU1).

Keeping a reference to add_timer inside the lock, and calling
sk_stop_timer_sync() with this reference, instead of “entry->add_timer”.

Move list_del(&entry->list) to mptcp_pm_del_add_timer and inside the pm lock,
do not directly access any members of the entry outside the pm lock, which
can avoid similar “entry->x” uaf.
