If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 19d7df69fdb2636856dc8919de72fc1bf8f79598 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 08:49:23 +0100 Subject: xfrm: Refuse to insert 32 bit userspace socket policies on 64 bit systems From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 19d7df69fdb2636856dc8919de72fc1bf8f79598 upstream. We don't have a compat layer for xfrm, so userspace and kernel structures have different sizes in this case. This results in a broken configuration, so refuse to configure socket policies when trying to insert from 32 bit userspace as we do it already with policies inserted via netlink.
