Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix nft_counters_enabled underflow at nf_tables_addchain()
syzbot is reporting underflow of nft_counters_enabled counter at
nf_tables_addchain() [1], for commit 43eb8949cfdffa76 ("netfilter:
nf_tables: do not leave chain stats enabled on error") missed that
nf_tables_chain_destroy() after nft_basechain_init() in the error path of
nf_tables_addchain() decrements the counter because nft_basechain_init()
makes nft_is_base_chain() return true by setting NFT_CHAIN_BASE flag.
Increment the counter immediately after returning from
nft_basechain_init().
