[Impact]
On systems where user namespaces can be created by unprivileged users,
which is the default configuration on Ubuntu, unprivileged users can
trigger a use-after-free vulnerability on netfilter. This could be used to
crash the system or elevate privileges.

[Test case]
A PoC that crashes the system was tested and the fix has been shown to
prevent it.

[Backport]
The fix applies cleanly all the way back to 5.4 kernels. A backport to 4.15
is in the works.

[Potential impact]
netfilter users may find regressions when manipulating nftables.
