Impact:	Moderate	What is this?

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nnetfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get()\nnft_unregister_expr() can concurrent with __nft_expr_type_get(),\nand there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_expressions\nlist in __nft_expr_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race\nof nf_tables_expressions list entry.\nUse list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_expressions\nlist in __nft_expr_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller\nnft_expr_type_get() to protect the entire type query process.
