Subject: [PATCH 06/10] xfrm: Fix skb double-free in xfrm_dev_direct_output()
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:28:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818092920.653034-7-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818092920.653034-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Sanghyun Park <sanghyun.park.cnu@gmail.com>
A return value other than 1 from local_out() means that the skb has been
consumed or its ownership was transferred. xfrm_dev_direct_output()
nevertheless frees the skb on this path, causing a double-free when
netfilter drops the packet and invalidating any other owner.
Return the local_out() result directly, matching the ownership handling
in xfrm_output_resume().
Fixes: 5eddd76ec2fd ("xfrm: fix tunnel mode TX datapath in packet offload mode")
