CVE-2024-53139 (published 2024-12-04)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: fix possible UAF in sctp_v6_available()

A lockdep report [1] with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y hints
that sctp_v6_available() is calling dev_get_by_index_rcu()
and ipv6_chk_addr() without holding rcu.
