Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: bridge: fix vlan tunnel dst refcnt when egressing

The egress tunnel code uses dst_clone() and directly sets the result
which is wrong because the entry might have 0 refcnt or be already deleted,
causing number of problems. It also triggers the WARN_ON() in dst_hold()[1]
when a refcnt couldn’t be taken. Fix it by using dst_hold_safe() and
checking if a reference was actually taken before setting the dst.

[1] dmesg WARN_ON log and following refcnt errors
