In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: iptfs: only publish mode_data after clone setup
iptfs_clone_state() stores x->mode_data before allocating the reorder
window. If that allocation fails, the code frees the cloned state and
returns -ENOMEM, leaving x->mode_data pointing at freed memory.
The xfrm clone unwind later runs destroy_state() through x->mode_data,
so the failed clone path tears down IPTFS state that clone_state()
already freed.
Keep the cloned IPTFS state private until all allocations succeed so
failed clones leave x->mode_data unset. The destroy path already
handles a NULL mode_data pointer.
