On ESP output, sk_wmem_alloc is incremented for the added padding if a socket is associated to the skb. When replying with TCP SYNACKs over IPsec, the associated sk is a casted request socket, only. Increasing sk_wmem_alloc on a request socket results in a write at an arbitrary struct offset. In the best case, this produces the following WARNING: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at lib/refcount.c:102 esp_output_head+0x2e4/0x308 [esp4] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
