If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dan Carpenter commit e747f64336fc15e1c823344942923195b800aa1e upstream. The default error code in pfkey_msg2xfrm_state() is -ENOBUFS. We added a new call to security_xfrm_state_alloc() which sets "err" to zero so there several places where we can return ERR_PTR(0) if kmalloc() fails. The caller is expecting error pointers so it leads to a NULL dereference. Fixes: df71837d5024 ("[LSM-IPSec]: Security association restriction.")
