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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
