How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:10 kernel-64k-debug-devel-matched.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-devel-matched package and not the kernel-64k-debug-devel-matched package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

net-shapers: don't free reply skb after genlmsg_reply()

genlmsg_reply() hands the reply skb to netlink, and netlink_unicast() consumes it on all return paths, whether the skb is queued successfully or freed on an error path.

net_shaper_nl_get_doit() and net_shaper_nl_cap_get_doit() currently jump to free_msg after genlmsg_reply() fails and call nlmsg_free(msg), which can hit the same skb twice.

Return the genlmsg_reply() error directly and keep free_msg only for pre-reply failures.
