Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-18 12:09:14 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: possible module reference underflow in error path

dst->ops is set on when nft_expr_clone() fails, but module refcount has
not been bumped yet, therefore nft_expr_destroy() leads to module
reference underflow.
