Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: espintcp: do not reuse an in-progress partial send espintcp keeps a single in-flight transmit in ctx->partial. Before building a new sk_msg, espintcp_sendmsg() first tries to flush that state through espintcp_push_msgs(). For blocking callers, espintcp_push_msgs() may return success even when the previous partial send is still pending. espintcp_sendmsg() would then reinitialize emsg->skmsg and reuse ctx->partial while the old transfer still owns that state. Do not rebuild the send message when ctx->partial is still in progress. If espintcp_push_msgs() returns with emsg->len still set, fail the new send instead of overwriting the live partial state. This is a memory-safety fix: reusing the live partial-send state can leave a stale offset attached to a new sk_msg and lead to an out-of- bounds read in the send path. tcp_sendmsg_locked() already handles waiting for send buffer memory, so the fix here is just to preserve espintcp's one-message-at-a-time transmit state.

It is not directly triggerable by unauthenticated network packets alone.\nAC:L - The attacker can create the needed partial-send condition by controlling the TCP peer or receiver behavior and filling the send buffer, then issuing another send. No race or condition outside attacker control is required.\nPR:L - Setting an already-registered TCP ULP does not require CAP_NET_ADMIN, and ordinary local users can create TCP sockets and call setsockopt/sendmsg. XFRM administration is privileged, but it is not required for this lowest-privilege path to `espintcp_sendmsg`.\nUI:N - Exploitation does not require any victim user action after the attacker has local code execution. The attacker directly drives the socket operations.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel and its managed resources on the same host. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary violation.\nC:H - The stale partial-send offset can produce an out-of-bounds read in the TCP send path, potentially exposing kernel memory through transmitted data. Because the read is not strictly bounded to a small fixed disclosure, high confidentiality impact is appropriate.\nI:H - The corrupted espintcp/sk_msg state can build invalid bvec/socket-buffer references and disturb page or send-buffer accounting, which is a plausible kernel memory integrity primitive. Under the required higher-severity rule for uncertainty, this is scored as high integrity impact.\nA:H - The invalid scatterlist/bvec state can lead to kernel warnings, invalid page references, refcount/accounting corruption, or crashes in the send/cleanup path. A local attacker can repeat the trigger, so availability impact is high."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
