In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix xfrm_state_construct() auth-trunc leak
attach_auth_trunc() can allocate x->aalg while leaving x->props.aalgo at zero when the selected auth algorithm has no sadb_alg_id. One real case is cmac(aes).
xfrm_state_construct() then treats !x->props.aalgo as "no auth algorithm attached yet" and calls attach_auth(). That overwrites x->aalg and loses the first allocation. Any later failure or teardown only frees the replacement pointer.
Check whether x->aalg is already attached instead of inferring that state from x->props.aalgo.
