netfilter: nf_tables: reject table flag and netdev basechain updates
[ Upstream commit 1e1fb6f00f52812277963365d9bd835b9b0ea4e0 ]
netdev basechain updates are stored in the transaction object hook list.
When setting on the table dormant flag, it iterates over the existing
hooks in the basechain. Thus, skipping the hooks that are being
added/deleted in this transaction, which leaves hook registration in
inconsistent state.
Reject table flag updates in combination with netdev basechain updates
in the same batch:
- Update table flags and add/delete basechain: Check from basechain update
path if there are pending flag updates for this table.
- add/delete basechain and update table flags: Iterate over the transaction
list to search for basechain updates from the table update path.
In both cases, the batch is rejected. Based on suggestion from Florian Westphal.
Fixes: b9703ed44ffb ("netfilter: nf_tables: support for adding new devices to an existing netdev chain")
Fixes: 7d937b107108f ("netfilter: nf_tables: support for deleting devices in an existing netdev chain")
