Use After Free Affecting perf package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: nf_tables: fix use-after-free in nft_set_catchall_destroy()

We need to use list_for_each_entry_safe() iterator because we can not access @catchall after kfree_rcu() call.
