Does this also affect earlier 2.4 releases which did not yet
incorporate IGMPv3? If so, to which extent? AFAIR, IGMPv3/MLDv2 was
added in 2.4.22.
At least the PoC requires *_(UN)BLOCK_SOURCE APIs which were added
with IGMPv3.
As far as I can see (a very quick look), 2.4 prior to 2.4.22 should
not be (at least similarly) affected.
