Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: fix nft_counters_enabled underflow at nf_tables_addchain() syzbot is reporting underflow of nft_counters_enabled counter at
nf_tables_addchain() [1], for commit 43eb8949cfdffa76 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: do not leave chain stats enabled on error") missed that
nf_tables_chain_destroy() after nft_basechain_init() in the error path of
nf_tables_addchain() decrements the counter because nft_basechain_init()
makes nft_is_base_chain() return true by setting NFT_CHAIN_BASE flag. Increment the counter immediately after returning from
nft_basechain_init().

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: corrige el desbordamiento de nft_counters_enabled en nf_tables_addchain() syzbot informa el desbordamiento del contador nft_counters_enabled en nf_tables_addchain() [1], para el commit 43eb8949cfdffa76 ("netfilter: nf_tables: no salir estadísticas de cadena habilitadas en caso de error") pasó por alto que nf_tables_chain_destroy() después de nft_basechain_init() en la ruta de error de nf_tables_addchain() disminuye el contador porque nft_basechain_init() hace que nft_is_base_chain() devuelva verdadero al configurar el indicador NFT_CHAIN_BASE. Incrementa el contador inmediatamente después de regresar de nft_basechain_init().
