[Impact]
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables
component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. Addition
and removal of rules from chain bindings within the same transaction causes
leads to use-after-free.
[Backport]
Fix commit applies cleanly on Mantic. On Lunar, there is a missing
pre-requisite, which is already present in 5.15 and 6.1 kernels.
On those other kernels (6.2, 6.1 and 5.15), the fix requires a small
conflict fixup due to an extra unrelated hunk added on later kernels.
[Potential regression]
nftables users are affected.
Pablo Neira Ayuso (2):
netfilter: nf_tables: skip bound chain in netns release path
netfilter: nf_tables: disallow rule removal from chain binding
