NVD Description

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

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

netfilter: nf_tables: possible module reference underflow in error path

dst->ops is set on when nft_expr_clone() fails, but module refcount has not been bumped yet, therefore nft_expr_destroy() leads to module reference underflow.
