Subject: [PATCH net v3] xfrm: iptfs: only publish mode_data after clone setup
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 14:56:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316145642.4154656-1-p@1g4.org> (raw)

iptfs_clone_state() stores x->mode_data before allocating the reorder
window. If that allocation fails, the code frees the cloned state and
returns -ENOMEM, leaving x->mode_data pointing at freed memory.

The xfrm clone unwind later runs destroy_state() through x->mode_data,
so the failed clone path tears down IPTFS state that clone_state()
already freed.

Keep the cloned IPTFS state private until all allocations succeed so
failed clones leave x->mode_data unset. The destroy path already
handles a NULL mode_data pointer.

Fixes: 6be02e3e4f37 ("xfrm: iptfs: handle reordering of received packets")
