"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-27012 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: restore set
    elements when delete set fails From abort path, nft_mapelem_activate() needs to restore refcounters to the
    original state. Currently, it uses the set->ops->walk() to iterate over these set elements. The existing
    set iterator skips inactive elements in the next generation, this does not work from the abort path to
    restore the original state since it has to skip active elements instead (not inactive ones). This patch
    moves the check for inactive elements to the set iterator callback, then it reverses the logic for the
    .activate case which needs to skip active elements. Toggle next generation bit for elements when delete
    set command is invoked and call nft_clear() from .activate (abort) path to restore the next generation
    bit. The splat below shows an object in mappings memleak: [43929.457523] ------------[ cut here
