Subject: ipsec: Fix aborted xfrm policy dump crash
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1137b5e2529a8f5ca8ee709288ecba3e68044df2 upstream.
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.
Fixes: 12a169e7d8f4 ("ipsec: Put dumpers on the dump list")
