Title
netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit Unregister flowtable hooks before they are releases via nf_tables_flowtable_destroy() otherwise hook core reports UAF.
