Since 4.14-rc1, the selinux-testsuite has been encountering sporadic
failures during testing of labeled IPSEC. git bisect pointed to
commit ec30d78c14a813db39a647b6a348b4286 ("xfrm: add xdst pcpu cache").
The xdst pcpu cache is only checking that the policies are the same,
but does not validate that the policy, state, and flow match with respect
to security context labeling.  As a result, the wrong SA could be used
and the receiver could end up performing permission checking and
providing SO_PEERSEC or SCM_SECURITY values for the wrong security context.
security_xfrm_state_pol_flow_match() exists for this purpose and is
already called from xfrm_state_look_at() for matching purposes.
Further, xfrm_state_look_at() also performs a xfrm_selector_match() test,
which is also missing from the xdst pcpu cache logic.  Add calls to both
of these functions when validating the cache entry.  With these changes,
the selinux-testsuite passes all tests again.

This is an RFC because I am not entirely confident in the fix, e.g. is it
sufficient to perform this matching only on the first xfrm or do they all
need to be walked as in xfrm_bundle_ok()?  Also, should we perform this
matching before (as in this patch) or after calling xfrm_bundle_ok()? Also,
do we need to test xfrm->sel.family before calling xfrm_selector_match
(as in this patch) or not - xfrm_state_look_at() does so when the
state is XFRM_STATE_VALID but not when it is _ERROR or _EXPIRED?

No idea.

I looked at the old flow cache but i don't see any of these extra
checks there either.

However, old flow cache stored flowi struct as key, and that contains a
flowi_secid,  populated by the decode_session hooks.

Was it enough to check for identical flowi_secid in the flowi structs to
avoid this problem or am i missing something?
