Use After Free Affecting python-perf package, versions *

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:

netfilter: fix use-after-free in __nf_register_net_hook()

We must not dereference @new_hooks after nf_hook_mutex has been released, because other threads might have freed our allocated hooks already.
