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.

Hi Harshit,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

Our CI did some validations and here is its report:

- KVM Validation: normal (except selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: normal (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: debug (except selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: debug (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅

If there are some issues, you can reproduce them using the same environment as
the one used by the CI thanks to a docker image, e.g.:

    $ cd [kernel source code]
    $ docker run -v "${PWD}:${PWD}:rw" -w "${PWD}" --privileged --rm -it \
        --pull always mptcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker:latest \
        auto-normal

For more details:

Please note that despite all the efforts that have been already done to have a
stable tests suite when executed on a public CI like here, it is possible some
reported issues are not due to your modifications. Still, do not hesitate to
help us improve that ;-)
