In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: input: hold netns during deferred transport reinjection
Transport-mode reinjection stores a struct net pointer in skb->cb and
uses it later from xfrm_trans_reinject(). That pointer must stay valid
until the deferred callback runs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: input: hold netns during deferred transport reinjection Transport-mode reinjection stores a struct net pointer in skb->cb and uses it later from xfrm_trans_reinject(). That pointer must stay valid until the deferred callback runs. Take a netns reference when queueing deferred reinjection work and drop it after the callback completes. Use maybe_get_net() so the queueing path does not revive a namespace that is already being torn down. This keeps the existing workqueue design and fixes the netns lifetime handling in one place for all users of xfrm_trans_queue_net().
