nf_nat module exit calls kfree_rcu on those addresses, but the free operation is likely still pending by the time alloc_tag checks for leaks.

Wait for outstanding kfree_rcu operations to complete before checking resolves this warning.

These are all security issues fixed in the kernel-devel-6.11.8-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-0927)
