Since 3e135cd499bf ("netfilter: nft_dynset: dynamic stateful expression instantiation"), it is possible to attach stateful expressions to set elements. cd5125d8f518 ("netfilter: nf_tables: split set destruction in deactivate and destroy phase") introduces conditional destruction on the object to accomodate transaction semantics. nft_expr_init() calls expr->ops->init() first, then check for NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR, this stills allows to initialize a non-stateful lookup expressions which points to a set, which might lead to UAF since the set is not properly detached from the set->binding for this case. Anyway, this combination is non-sense from nf_tables perspective. This patch fixes this problem by checking for NFT_STATEFUL_EXPR before expr->ops->init() is called. The reporter provides a KASAN splat and a poc reproducer (similar to those autogenerated by syzbot to report use-after-free errors). It is unknown to me if they are using syzbot or if they use similar automated tool to locate the bug that they are reporting. For the record, this is the KASAN splat.
