NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-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:

net: bridge: use DEV_STATS_INC()

syzbot/KCSAN reported data-races in br_handle_frame_finish() [1] This function can run from multiple cpus without mutual exclusion.

Adopt SMP safe DEV_STATS_INC() to update dev->stats fields.

Handles updates to dev->stats.tx_dropped while we are at it.
