    In commit 24803f38a5c0 (igmp: do not remove igmp souce list info when set
    link down), the ip_mc_clear_src() in ip_mc_destroy_dev() was removed,
    because it was also called in igmpv3_clear_delrec().

    Rough callgraph:

    inetdev_destroy
    -> ip_mc_destroy_dev
         -> igmpv3_clear_delrec
            -> ip_mc_clear_src
    -> RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->ip_ptr, NULL)

    However, ip_mc_clear_src() called in igmpv3_clear_delrec() doesn't
    release in_dev->mc_list->sources. And RCU_INIT_POINTER() assigns the
    NULL to dev->ip_ptr. As a result, in_dev cannot be obtained through
    inetdev_by_index() and then in_dev->mc_list->sources cannot be released
    by ip_mc_del1_src() in the sock_close. Rough call sequence goes like:

    sock_close
    -> __sock_release
       -> inet_release
          -> ip_mc_drop_socket
             -> inetdev_by_index
             -> ip_mc_leave_src
                -> ip_mc_del_src
                   -> ip_mc_del1_src

    So we still need to call ip_mc_clear_src() in ip_mc_destroy_dev() to free
    in_dev->mc_list->sources.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
