How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 python-perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-perf package and not the python-perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ipv6: mcast: fix data-race in ipv6_mc_down / mld_ifc_work

idev->mc_ifc_count can be written over without proper locking.

Originally found by syzbot [1], fix this issue by encapsulating calls to mld_ifc_stop_work() (and mld_gq_stop_work() for good measure) with mutex_lock() and mutex_unlock() accordingly as these functions should only be called with mc_lock per their declarations.
