Doc Text:	A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter framework, specifically within the nf_tables component. The issue arises from a race condition between the exit_net function and the destroy work queue, which can lead to use-after-free errors and potential system instability. This vulnerability has been addressed by making sure that any pending destroy work is flushed before releasing network namespaces, thereby preventing the race condition. Users are advised to update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this fix to maintain system stability and security.	Story Points:	---
