In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ila: call nf_unregister_net_hooks() sooner
syzbot found an use-after-free Read in ila_nf_input [1]
Issue here is that ila_xlat_exit_net() frees the rhashtable, then call nf_unregister_net_hooks().
It should be done in the reverse way, with a synchronize_rcu().
This is a good match for a pre_exit() method.

RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Use smart pointers or garbage-collected languages. Set pointers to NULL after freeing. Enable memory sanitizers.
