From 6069da443bf65f513bb507bb21e2f87cfb1ad0b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso pablo@netfilter.org Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 12:45:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit
Unregister flowtable hooks before they are releases via nf_tables_flowtable_destroy() otherwise hook core reports UAF.

__nft_release_hook() calls nft_unregister_flowtable_net_hooks() which only unregisters the hooks, then after RCU grace period, it is guaranteed that no packets add new entries to the flowtable (no flow offload rules and flowtable hooks are reachable from packet path), so it is safe to call nf_flow_table_free() which cleans up the remaining entries from the flowtable (both software and hardware) and it unbinds the flow_block.
