Subject: [PATCH net 2/8] netfilter: nft_ct: fix use after free when attaching zone template

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 00:52:29 +0100

From: Florian Westphal <[email-masked]>

The conversion erroneously removed the refcount increment.
In case we can use the percpu template, we need to increment
the refcount, else it will be released when the skb gets freed.

In case the slowpath is taken, the new template already has a
refcount of 1.
