Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-tools to version 0:4.18.0-513.5.1.el8_9 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools package and not the kernel-tools package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
atm_tc_enqueue in net/sched/sch_atm.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results).
