CVE-2024-27403 is a double-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel Netfilter nft_flow_offload component. During flow setup, ownership of the route object's destination reference is transferred to the flow object. The route object's dst field was not cleared after this transfer. If flow_offload_add() subsequently fails, its error path releases the destination reference through the route object a second time, causing a reference-count underflow.
