Subject: CVE-2024-26834: netfilter: nft_flow_offload: release dst in case direct xmit path is used

Description
===========

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

netfilter: nft_flow_offload: release dst in case direct xmit path is used

Direct xmit does not use it since it calls dev_queue_xmit() to send
packets, hence it calls dst_release().

kmemleak reports:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
