A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s netfilter
subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. Mishandled error handling with
NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a dangling pointer in the same
transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a
local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue. We
recommend upgrading past commit 1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97.
