CVE-2021-47394

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: unlink table before deleting it

syzbot reports following UAF:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in memcmp+0x18f/0x1c0 lib/string.c:955

nla_strcmp+0xf2/0x130 lib/nlattr.c:836

nft_table_lookup.part.0+0x1a2/0x460 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:570

nft_table_lookup net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:4064 [inline]

nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x659/0x13f0 net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:285

netlink_rcv_skb+0x153/0x420 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2504

Problem is that all get operations are lockless, so the commit_mutex

held by nft_rcv_nl_event() isn't enough to stop a parallel GET request

from doing read-accesses to the table object even after synchronize_rcu().

To avoid this, unlink the table first and store the table objects in

on-stack scratch space.
