Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Linux kernel IPv4 and IPv6 multicast forwarding can dereference a stale socket pointer after the socket is destroyed, affecting versions from 5.7 until fixed. The source gives few details on what an attacker needs. Upgrade to 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.111, 6.18.50, or a later release in those branches.
