Subject: [PATCH net 07/13] netfilter: nf_tables: make nft_object rhltable per table
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 18:39:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723163910.274695-8-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723163910.274695-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

The nft_object rhltable is global, this allows for accessing objects
that are being dismangled from lookup path by other existing netns.
Given the nft_obj_destroy() releases the object inmediately, this might
lead to use-after-free of these objects that are being released.
Make the existing rhltable per table to address this issue to deal with
with the nft_rcv_nl_event() path too.

Update nft_obj_lookup() to take the table as non-const, otherwise,
compiler complains when passing the objname_ht to rhltable_lookup().

Fixes: 4d44175aa5bb ("netfilter: nf_tables: handle nft_object lookups via rhltable")
