Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ipset: drop logically empty buckets in mtype_del

mtype_del() counts empty slots below n->pos in k, but it only drops the
bucket when both n->pos and k are zero. This misses buckets whose live
entries have all been removed while n->pos still points past deleted slots.

Treat a bucket as empty when all positions below n->pos are unused and
release it directly instead of shrinking it further.
