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.
