Doc Text:
A use-after-free flaw was found in nf_tables cross-table in the net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c function in the Linux kernel. This flaw allows a local, privileged attacker to cause a use-after-free problem at the time of table deletion, possibly leading to local privilege escalation.

Description Marian Rehak 2022-08-03 12:38:16 UTC 
It was discovered that a nft object or expression could reference a nft set on a different nft table, leading to a use-after-free once that table was deleted.
