NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting python3-perf package, versions <0:5.14.0-427.40.1.el9_4

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-perf package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

xfrm6: check ip6_dst_idev() return value in xfrm6_get_saddr()

ip6_dst_idev() can return NULL, xfrm6_get_saddr() must act accordingly.
