CVE-2026-43091

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: Wait for RCU readers during policy netns exit

xfrm_policy_fini() frees the policy_bydst hash tables after flushing the

policy work items and deleting all policies, but it does not wait for

concurrent RCU readers to leave their read-side critical sections first.

The policy_bydst tables are published via rcu_assign_pointer() and are

looked up through rcu_dereference_check(), so netns teardown must also

wait for an RCU grace period before freeing the table memory.

Fix this by adding synchronize_rcu() before freeing the policy hash tables.
