Commit Message

Colin King Dec. 14, 2020, 11:40 p.m. UTC
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The intention of the err_expr cleanup path is to iterate over the
allocated expr_array objects and free them, starting from i - 1 and
working down to the start of the array. Currently the loop counter
is being incremented instead of decremented and also the index i is
being used instead of k, repeatedly destroying the same expr_array
element.  Fix this by decrementing k and using k as the index into
expr_array.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Infinite loop")
Fixes: 8cfd9b0f8515 ("netfilter: nftables: generalize set expressions support")
