CVE-2024-27020

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get()nft_unregister_expr() can concurrent with __nft_expr_type_get(),and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_expressionslist in __nft_expr_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-raceof nf_tables_expressions list entry.Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_expressionslist in __nft_expr_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the callernft_expr_type_get() to protect the entire type query process.
