Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak during stateful obj update<br /> <br /> stateful objects can be updated from the control plane.<br /> The transaction logic allocates a temporary object for this purpose.<br /> <br /> The -&gt;init function was called for this object, so plain kfree() leaks<br /> resources. We must call -&gt;destroy function of the object.<br /> <br /> nft_obj_destroy does this, but it also decrements the module refcount,<br /> but the update path doesn&amp;#39;t increment it.<br /> <br /> To avoid special-casing the update object release, do module_get for<br /> the update case too and release it via nft_obj_destroy().
