CVE-2022-48935 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit
Unregister flowtable hooks before they are releases via
nf_tables_flowtable_destroy() otherwise hook core reports UAF.

__nft_release_hook() calls nft_unregister_flowtable_net_hooks() which
only unregisters the hooks, then after RCU grace period, it is
guaranteed that no packets add new entries to the flowtable (no flow
offload rules and flowtable hooks are reachable from packet path), so it
is safe to call nf_flow_table_free() which cleans up the remaining
entries from the flowtable (both software and hardware) and it unbinds
the flow_block.
