Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: make nft_object rhltable per table
The nft_object rhltable is global, this allows for accessing objects
that are being dismangled from lookup path by other existing netns.
Given the nft_obj_destroy() releases the object inmediately, this might
lead to use-after-free of these objects that are being released.
Make the existing rhltable per table to address this issue to deal with
with the nft_rcv_nl_event() path too.
Update nft_obj_lookup() to take the table as non-const, otherwise,
compiler complains when passing the objname_ht to rhltable_lookup().
