Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:netfilter: nf_nat: avoid invalid nat_net pointer use on failed nf_nat_init()
We ran into below KASAN splat, which is mostly uninteresting, beside
for having nf_nat_register_fn() in the call chain as a cause for the
offending access:
