NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules package and not the kernel-modules package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux kernel through 5.18.1 allows a local user (able to create user/net namespaces) to escalate privileges to root because an incorrect NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR check leads to a use-after-free.
