   It looks like the netfilter NF_QUEUE interface is inherently racey
   because it puts a pointer to the nf_hook list element onto the queue,
   and then later processes and tries to validate that the pointer is still
   in the list.
   
This kind of report must be CC:'d to the netfilter folks.
Sending it to me is kind of pointless, at best all I could
do is forward your report to the netfilter folks since I
don't even use netfilter nor understand the code or how it
works.
