From: Herbert Xu herbert@gondor.apana.org.au Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 20:51:10 +0800 Subject: ipsec: Fix aborted xfrm policy dump crash

From: Herbert Xu herbert@gondor.apana.org.au

commit 1137b5e2529a8f5ca8ee709288ecba3e68044df2 upstream.

An independent security researcher, Mohamed Ghannam, has reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program.

The xfrm_dump_policy_done function expects xfrm_dump_policy to have been called at least once or it will crash. This can be triggered if a dump fails because the target socket's receive buffer is full.

This patch fixes it by using the cb->start mechanism to ensure that the initialisation is always done regardless of the buffer situation.
