Thank you very much.

If uninitialized ut->family is AF_INET or AF_INET6 by chance
and the family of outer addresses (ut->saddr) is differnt
ut->family, it results some garbage in the kernel as you know.

I think it does not results any oops or a segmentation fault
because xfrm_address always has enough length (16 bytes) to wrong
access.

 From the point of view of security, the policy has garbege
templates, but the selector is valid and it mangates applying
IPsec. So it result blocking the traffic.
Accordingly, I think it falls down to secure side.

Anyway I will test the patch.

Thank you,
