Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv4: fib: Don't dump dying fib_info
in fib_leaf_notify(). syzbot reported use-after-free in nsim_fib4_prepare_event(). [0] The problem is that
the following functions call fib_info_hold() / refcount_inc() while dumping fib_info under RCU, which is
unsafe. * mlxsw_sp_router_fib4_event() * rocker_router_fib_event() * nsim_fib4_prepare_event()
refcount_inc_not_zero() must be used, but it would be too late there. Let's guarantee the lifetime of
fib_info in fib_leaf_notify(). Note that IPv6 does not need the corresponding change since
fib6_table_dump() holds fib6_table.tb6_lock. [0]: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. WARNING:
