Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial send<br />
<br />
espintcp keeps a single in-flight transmit in ctx->partial.<br />
Before building a new sk_msg, espintcp_sendmsg() first tries to flush<br />
that state through espintcp_push_msgs().<br />
<br />
For blocking callers, espintcp_push_msgs() may return success even when<br />
the previous partial send is still pending. espintcp_sendmsg() would<br />
then reinitialize emsg->skmsg and reuse ctx->partial while the old<br />
transfer still owns that state.<br />
<br />
Do not rebuild the send message when ctx->partial is still in progress.<br />
If espintcp_push_msgs() returns with emsg->len still set, fail the new<br />
send instead of overwriting the live partial state.<br />
<br />
This is a memory-safety fix: reusing the live partial-send state can<br />
leave a stale offset attached to a new sk_msg and lead to an out-of-<br />
bounds read in the send path.<br />
<br />
tcp_sendmsg_locked() already handles waiting for send buffer memory, so<br />
the fix here is just to preserve espintcp&#39;s one-message-at-a-time<br />
transmit state.
