Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] netfilter: ip6_tables: guard ip6t_unregister_table_pre_exit against NULL ops
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:19:11 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <177750475157.3021974.6858117535916205046@talencesecurity.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <177750472539.3004201.15967003942391945312@talencesecurity.com>
Same race as the ipv4 counterpart: ip6t_register_table() adds the
table to the per-netns list before assigning new_table->ops.
cleanup_net can find the table with a NULL ops pointer and crash in
nf_unregister_net_hooks().
Guard against this by checking table->ops before the call.
Fixes: ee177a54413a ("netfilter: ip6_tables: Use xt_register_table()")
