Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: Fix for duplicate device in netdev hooks

When handling NETDEV_REGISTER notification, duplicate device registration must be avoided since the device may have been added by nft_netdev_hook_alloc() already when creating the hook.
