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

netfilter: synproxy: add mutex to guard hook reference counting

As the synproxy infrastructure register netfilter hooks on-demand when a
user adds the first iptables target or nftables expression, if done
concurrently they can race each other.

Introduce a mutex to serialize the refcount control blocks access from
both frontends. While a per namespace mutex might be more efficient, it
is not needed for target/expression like SYNPROXY.

No CVSS v4.0
