What it is

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.
