In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: unconditionally flush pending work before notifier
syzbot reports:
KASAN: slab-uaf in nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831
KASAN: slab-uaf in nft_commit_release net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9530
KASAN: slab-uaf int nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597

Workqueue: events nf_tables_trans_destroy_work
Call Trace:
nft_ctx_update include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1831 [inline]

nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597
Problem is that the notifier does a conditional flush, but its possible
that the table-to-be-removed is still referenced by transactions being
processed by the worker, so we need to flush unconditionally.
We could make the flush_work depend on whether we found a table to delete
in nf-next to avoid the flush for most cases.
AFAICS this problem is only exposed in nf-next, with
commit e169285f8c56 ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not store nft_ctx in transaction objects"),
with this commit applied there is an unconditional fetch of
table->family which is whats triggering the above splat.
