What it is

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

netfilter: nf_tables: fix memleak in map from abort path

The delete set command does not rely on the transaction object for

element removal, therefore, a combination of delete element + delete set

from the abort path could result in restoring twice the refcount of the

mapping.

Check for inactive element in the next generation for the delete element

command in the abort path, skip restoring state if next generation bit

has been already cleared. This is similar to the activate logic using

the set walk iterator.
