Type: advisorySources: OSV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: double hook unregistration in netns path __nft_release_hooks() is called from pre_netns exit path which unregisters the hooks, then the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is triggered which unregisters the hooks again.
