Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: Fix crash caused by calling __xfrm_state_delete() twice

The km.state is not checked in driver's delayed work. When
xfrm_state_check_expire() is called, the state can be reset to
XFRM_STATE_EXPIRED, even if it is XFRM_STATE_DEAD already. This
happens when xfrm state is deleted, but not freed yet. As
__xfrm_state_delete() is called again in xfrm timer, the following
crash occurs.

To fix this issue, skip xfrm_state_check_expire() if km.state is not
XFRM_STATE_VALID.

Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000108: 0000 [#1] SMP
