CVE: CVE-2021-47106
Published: 2024-03-04
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: fix use-after-free in nft_set_catchall_destroy()

We need to use list_for_each_entry_safe() iterator
because we can not access @catchall after kfree_rcu() call.
