In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ebtables: fix table blob use-after-free
We are not allowed to return an error at this point. Looking at the code it looks like ret is always 0 at this point, but its not.
t = find_table_lock(net, repl->name, &ret, &ebt_mutex);
... this can return a valid table, with ret != 0.
This bug causes update of table->private with the new blob, but then frees the blob right away in the caller.

ip(6)tables appears to be ok (ret should be 0 at this point) but make this more obvious.
