Subject: CVE-2022-48935: netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48935 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
