Subject: [PATCH] rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE
 packets

The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it
in place - however, the sk_buff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which
would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually
decrypted).

Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security
handler if the packet was cloned.

[PATCH 5.10.y] rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets

[Sasha Levin]

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 24481a7f573305706054c59e275371f8d0fe919f ]

The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it
in place - however, the sk_buff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which
would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually
decrypted).

Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security
