Subject: CVE-2024-40983: tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption

Description
===========

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

tipc: force a dst refcount before doing decryption

As it says in commit 3bc07321ccc2 ("xfrm: Force a dst refcount before
entering the xfrm type handlers"):

"Crypto requests might return asynchronous. In this case we leave the
 rcu protected region, so force a refcount on the skb's destination
 entry before we enter the xfrm type input/output handlers."

On TIPC decryption path it has the same problem, and skb_dst_force()
should be called before doing decryption to avoid a possible crash.

Shuang reported this issue when this warning is triggered:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
