Subject: [PATCH net-next v1] xfrm6: fix uninitialized saddr in xfrm6_get_saddr()
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 19:38:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127113845.219468-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@shopee.com>
xfrm6_get_saddr() does not check the return value of
ipv6_dev_get_saddr(). When ipv6_dev_get_saddr() fails to find a suitable
source address (returns -EADDRNOTAVAIL), saddr->in6 is left
uninitialized, but xfrm6_get_saddr() still returns 0 (success).
This causes the caller xfrm_tmpl_resolve_one() to use the uninitialized
address in xfrm_state_find(), triggering KMSAN warning:

Fix by checking the return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr() and propagating
the error.
