How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 kernel-abi-whitelists.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-abi-whitelists package and not the kernel-abi-whitelists package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

wifi: iwlwifi: Use request_module_nowait

This appears to work around a deadlock regression that came in with the LED merge in 6.9.

The deadlock happens on my system with 24 iwlwifi radios, so maybe it something like all worker threads are busy and some work that needs to complete cannot complete.

[also remove unnecessary "load_module" var and now-wrong comment]
