CVE-2026-98368

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

esp: downgrade zerocopy managed frags before mutating skb frags

On the out-of-place output path (esp->inplace == false) ESP rewrites the
skb frag array: esp_output_head() appends a trailer frag and
esp_output_tail() replaces the frags with a destination page, both
referenced with get_page().

When the skb carries zerocopy managed frags (SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS) the
payload frags are owned by the ubuf and must not be referenced or
unreferenced individually, but ESP mutates the frag array without ever
downgrading the skb.  This breaks the managed-frag invariant two ways:

  - esp_ssg_unref() walks the source scatterlist and drops a page
    reference for every frag, including the ubuf-owned payload frags,
    pushing their refcount below the GUP pin bias while the pages are
    still pinned, i.e. a use-after-free of the zerocopy pages;

  - esp_output_tail() installs its destination page as frag 0 with
    get_page() but leaves SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS set, so
    skb_release_data() takes the skip_unref branch and never drops that
    reference, leaking the x->xfrag page at packet rate.

Fix this the way every other frag-mutating site does (__ip_append_data(),
__ip6_append_data(), tcp_sendmsg_locked()) and call
skb_zcopy_downgrade_managed() before ESP touches the frag array: it takes
a real reference on each existing frag and clears SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS,
so the per-frag unref in esp_ssg_unref() and the frag release in
skb_release_data() are both balanced and no mixed-ownership frag array is
left behind.
