How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

scsi: bnx2fc: Flush destroy_work queue before calling bnx2fc_interface_put()

The bnx2fc_destroy() functions are removing the interface before calling destroy_work. This results multiple WARNings from sysfs_remove_group() as the controller rport device attributes are removed too early.

Replace the fcoe_port's destroy_work queue. It's not needed.

The problem is easily reproducible with the following steps.

Example:
