Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix memleak in map from abort path
The delete set command does not rely on the transaction object for
element removal, therefore, a combination of delete element + delete set
from the abort path could result in restoring twice the refcount of the
mapping.
Check for inactive element in the next generation for the delete element
command in the abort path, skip restoring state if next generation bit
has been already cleared. This is similar to the activate logic using
the set walk iterator.
