Subject: [PATCH net] xfrm: account XFRMA_IF_ID in aevent size calculation
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:36:39 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326123639.94056-1-keenanat2000@gmail.com> (raw)
xfrm_get_ae() allocates the reply skb with xfrm_aevent_msgsize(), then
build_aevent() appends attributes including XFRMA_IF_ID when x->if_id is
set.
xfrm_aevent_msgsize() does not include space for XFRMA_IF_ID. For states
with if_id, build_aevent() can fail with -EMSGSIZE and hit BUG_ON(err < 0)
in xfrm_get_ae(), turning a malformed netlink interaction into a kernel
panic.
Account XFRMA_IF_ID in the size calculation unconditionally and replace
the BUG_ON with normal error unwinding.
Fixes: 7e6526404ade ("xfrm: Add a new lookup key to match xfrm interfaces.")
