Subject: CVE-2024-35899: netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before exit_net release

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email-masked]>

Description
===========

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

netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before exit_net release

Similar to 2c9f0293280e ("netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy
work before netlink notifier") to address a race between exit_net and
the destroy workqueue.

The trace below shows an element to be released via destroy workqueue
while exit_net path (triggered via module removal) has already released
the set that is used in such transaction.

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:
