I stumbled upon this when the issue got a CVE id (sigh) and I share
Andrea's (Cc-ed) concern that the fix is incomplete. While the fix,
commit c301f0981fdd ("netfilter: nf_tables: fix pointer math issue in
nft_byteorder_eval()") now, fixes the destination side, src is still
a pointer to u32, i.e. we are reading 64-bit values with relative
offsets which are multiples of 32 bits.

Shouldn't we fix this as well, e.g. like indicated below?
