Current code configures the hardware with a new SA before the state has been
fully initialized. During this time interval, an incoming ESP packet can cause
a crash due to a NULL dereference. More specifically, xfrm_input() considers
the packet as valid, and yet, anti-replay mechanism is not initialized.
Move hardware configuration to the end of xfrm_state_construct(), and mark
the state as valid once the SA is fully initialized.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
