Subject[PATCH 4.19 038/287] netfilter: nf_tables: fix null deref due to zeroed list head
Date
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

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.
