following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxfrm: interface: fix use-after-free after changing collect_md xfrm interface\n\ncollect_md property on xfrm interfaces can only be set on device creation,\nthus xfrmi_changelink() should fail when called on such interfaces.\n\nThe check to enforce this was done only in the case where the xi was\nreturned from xfrmi_locate() which doesn't look for the collect_md\ninterface, and thus the validation was never reached.\n\nCalling changelink would thus errornously place the special interface xi\nin the xfrmi_net->xfrmi hash, but since it also exists in the\nxfrmi_net->collect_md_xfrmi pointer it would lead to a double free when\nthe net namespace was taken down [1].\n\nChange the check to use the xi from netdev_priv which is available earlier\nin the function to prevent changes in xfrm collect_md interfaces.\n\n[1] resulting oops:\n[    8.516540] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:12029!\n[    8.516552] Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]
