Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-08-30 07:12:00 UTC 
A flaw regarding the removal of xfrm policies from the kernel may possibly crash the system or corrupt memory or escalate privilges . Policies addition or removal is a privileged operation (usually done through the ip command) or via a netlink socket.

A local privileged user (with CAP_NET_ADMIN or root) is required to exploit this condition.  With this limitation, this issue is rated as Moderate.
