NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ipv6: mcast: Delay put pmc->idev in mld_del_delrec()

pmc->idev is still used in ip6_mc_clear_src(), so as mld_clear_delrec() does, the reference should be put after ip6_mc_clear_src() return.
