CVE-2026-98370
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix compat ALLOCSPI request use-after-free
xfrm_state_netlink() builds the ALLOCSPI response with dump_one_state(), which already calls alloc_compat() with the response skb and header.
xfrm_alloc_userspi() then calls alloc_compat() again, but passes the original request skb and its header. For a compat request, the translator therefore interprets the 228-byte compat xfrm_userspi_info as the 232-byte native layout and reads four bytes past the declared payload. It also publishes the translated child through the request's frag_list.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
A multicast clone of the request shares skb_shared_info and can observe that child. xfrm_user_rcv_msg() frees it after the request handler returns, racing a compat receiver which may still be copying from it and resulting in a use-after-free.
Remove the redundant conversion. The response keeps its correct compat translation from dump_one_state(), and no child is attached to the inbound request.
