Subject: [PATCH ipsec v2 2/6] xfrm: fix use-after-free of migrated state in xfrm_do_migrate_state()
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 08:49:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <migrate-state-fixes-v2-2-c3e2767f0d96@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <migrate-state-fixes-v2-0-c3e2767f0d96@secunet.com>

A concurrent delete can free the migrated state before
xfrm_do_migrate_state() finishes using it.

Fixes: a9d155ea9b44 ("xfrm: add XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE for single SA migration")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Signed-off-by: Antony Antony <antony.antony@secunet.com>
