From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.256 commit d3f409c375490a86d342eae1d0f6271d12dc19d0 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I6IK9U CVE: CVE-2023-1095 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 580077855a40741cf511766129702d97ff02f4d9 upstream. In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error, nft_trans_destroy is called to free the transaction object. nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never placed on a list -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in a null dereference: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in nft_trans_destroy+0x26/0x59 Call Trace: nft_trans_destroy+0x26/0x59 nf_tables_newtable+0x4bc/0x9bc [..] Its sane to assume that nft_trans_destroy() can be called on the transaction object returned by nft_trans_alloc(), so make sure the list head is initialised.
