Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: fix null deref on element insertion<br />
<br />
There is no guarantee that rb_prev() will not return NULL in nft_rbtree_gc_elem():<br />
<br />
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000003: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN<br />
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000018-0x000000000000001f]<br />
nft_add_set_elem+0x14b0/0x2990<br />
nf_tables_newsetelem+0x528/0xb30<br />
<br />
Furthermore, there is a possible use-after-free while iterating,<br />
&#39;node&#39; can be free&#39;d so we need to cache the next value to use.
