In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nf_tables: nft_dynset: fix possible stateful expression memleak in error path
If cloning the second stateful expression in the element via GFP_ATOMIC
fails, then the first stateful expression remains in place without being
released.
