In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: always release netdev hooks from notifier
This reverts "netfilter: nf_tables: skip netdev events generated on netns removal".
The problem is that when a veth device is released, the veth release callback will also queue the peer netns device for removal.
Its possible that the peer netns is also slated for removal. In this case, the device memory is already released before the pre_exit hook of the peer netns runs:
