Linux Kernel Netfilter nf_tables Use-After-Free Vulnerability

A use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the nf_tables subsystem. This issue arises from a race condition involving the netlink notifier, which can lead to unintended memory access and potential exploitation.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, allowing for use-after-free conditions that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service situation.
