Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nftables: Fix a memory leak in nftables_updchain

If nftnetdevregisterhooks() fails, the memory associated with nftstats is not freed, causing a memory leak.

This patch fixes it by moving nftstatsalloc() down after nftnetdevregister_hooks() succeeds.
