"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is
unset This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a
(xfrm:Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.)
syzbot created an SA with usersa.sel.family = AF_UNSPEC
usersa.sel.prefixlen_s = 128 usersa.family = AF_INET Because
of the AF_UNSPEC selector, verify_newsa_info doesn't put limits on
prefixlen_{s,d}. But then copy_from_user_state sets x->sel.family to
usersa.family (AF_INET). Do the same conversion inverify_newsa_info
before validating prefixlen_{s,d}, since that's howprefixlen is going
to be used later on.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
