How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:10 kernel-zfcpdump-devel-matched.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-devel-matched package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-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:

PM / devfreq: Check governor before using governor->name

Commit 96ffcdf239de ("PM / devfreq: Remove redundant governor_name from struct devfreq") removes governor_name and uses governor->name to replace it. But devfreq->governor may be NULL and directly using devfreq->governor->name may cause null pointer exception. Move the check of governor to before using governor->name.
