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

af_key: validate families in pfkey_send_migrate()

syzbot was able to trigger a crash in skb_put() [1]

Issue is that pfkey_send_migrate() does not check old/new families, and that set_ipsecrequest() @family argument was truncated, thus possibly overfilling the skb.

Validate families early, do not wait set_ipsecrequest().
