Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:06:47 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: input: hold netns during deferred transport reinjection

Transport-mode reinjection stores a struct net pointer in skb->cb and
uses it later from xfrm_trans_reinject(). That pointer must stay valid
until the deferred callback runs.

Take a netns reference when queueing deferred reinjection work and drop
it after the callback completes. Use maybe_get_net() so the queueing
path does not revive a namespace that is already being torn down.

This keeps the existing workqueue design and fixes the netns lifetime
handling in one place for all users of xfrm_trans_queue_net().
