In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_hash: unaligned atomic read on struct nft_set_ext
Access to genmask field in struct nft_set_ext results in unaligned
atomic read:

Align struct nft_set_ext to word size to address this and
documentation it.
pahole reports that this increases the size of elements for rhash and
pipapo in 8 bytes on x86_64.
