CVE-2024-36971Linux kernel — use-after-free in a socket's cached route

__dst_negative_advice() drops a socket's cached route in the wrong order, so the freed entry can still be reached. The catalog lists it against Android, where it was exploited; the flaw itself is in the Linux kernel and the fix went to every stable branch.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Update the kernel to a build that carries the __dst_negative_advice() fix; on Android that is the August 2024 security patch level or later.
