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

netfilter: nf_tables: restore set elements when delete set fails

From abort path, nft_mapelem_activate() needs to restore refcounters to
the original state. Currently, it uses the set->ops->walk() to iterate
over these set elements. The existing set iterator skips inactive
elements in the next generation, this does not work from the abort path
to restore the original state since it has to skip active elements
instead (not inactive ones).

This patch moves the check for inactive elements to the set iterator
callback, then it reverses the logic for the .activate case which
needs to skip active elements.

Toggle next generation bit for elements when delete set command is
invoked and call nft_clear() from .activate (abort) path to restore the
next generation bit.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: netfilter: nf_tables: restaurar elementos del conjunto cuando falla la eliminación del conjunto Desde la ruta de cancelación, nft_mapelem_activate() necesita restaurar los contadores de referencia al estado original. Actualmente, utiliza set->ops->walk() para iterar sobre estos elementos del conjunto. El iterador de conjunto existente omite elementos inactivos en la próxima generación; esto no funciona desde la ruta de cancelación para restaurar el estado original ya que tiene que omitir elementos activos (no inactivos). Este parche mueve la verificación de elementos inactivos a la devolución de llamada del iterador establecido, luego invierte la lógica para el caso .activate que necesita omitir elementos activos. Cambie el bit de próxima generación para los elementos cuando se invoque el comando eliminar conjunto y llame a nft_clear() desde la ruta .activate (abortar) para restaurar el bit de próxima generación.
