CVE-2024-35898 is a race condition in the Linux kernel Netfilter nf_tables subsystem. The __nft_flowtable_type_get() function iterates the nf_tables_flowtables list without protection while nft_unregister_flowtable_type(), invoked during flowtable-type unregistration, can modify that list concurrently. The upstream fix changes the iteration to an RCU-aware list traversal and protects the complete type-lookup operation with an RCU read-side lock.
