      <title>CVE-2026-53239 — xfrm: policy: fix use-after-free on inexact bin in xfrm_policy_bysel_ctx()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-53239</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;xfrm: policy: fix use-after-free on inexact bin in xfrm_policy_bysel_ctx()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix the race by pruning the bin while still holding xfrm_policy_lock,
before dropping it. Use __xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin() directly since
the lock is already held. The wrapper xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin()
becomes unused and is removed.&lt;/p&gt;
