Compare XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO (value from netlink
configuration messages enum) with nlh_src->nlmsg_type
instead of nlh_src->nlmsg_type - XFRM_MSG_BASE.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Nice find!

Looking at the details:
xfrm_xlate64() is for translating 64-bit kernel-issued message to 32-bit
userspace ABI. The message is XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO and there's a selftest
that checks if the attributes (thresh valued) were correctly translated
in tools/testing/selftests/net/ipsec.c

So, I was interested in how did it go unnoticed?
The switch here is to differ XFRMA_* attributes from XFRMA_SPD_*
attributes, which can be just copied as they are as they occupy the same
space on 64-bit as well as on 32-bit.

enum xfrm_spdattr_type_t {
	XFRMA_SPD_UNSPEC,
	XFRMA_SPD_INFO,
	XFRMA_SPD_HINFO,
	XFRMA_SPD_IPV4_HTHRESH,
	XFRMA_SPD_IPV6_HTHRESH,
	__XFRMA_SPD_MAX
};
attributes went through xfrm_xlate64_attr() instead of just being
copied. That worked in result as
	case XFRMA_UNSPEC:
	case XFRMA_ALG_AUTH:
	case XFRMA_ALG_CRYPT:
	case XFRMA_ALG_COMP:
	case XFRMA_ENCAP:
	case XFRMA_TMPL:
		return xfrm_nla_cpy(dst, src, nla_len(src));
are equal by value (XFRMA_UNSPEC == 0 == XFRMA_SPD_UNSPEC) and so on.
So, in result, even with this typo the code worked.

What about the reverse case, what was being copied by this
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO case?
XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO == 0x24
So, before this patch (XFRM_MSG_NEWSPDINFO - XFRM_MSG_BASE) == 0x14 ==
XFRM_MSG_DELPOLICY type of messages would fit this switch case.

Luckily enough, kernel doesn't send back XFRM_MSG_DELPOLICY messages to
userspace. That's how it went unnoticed, by unexpectedly still working.
