Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-zfcpdump-modules-extra 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-zfcpdump-modules-extra package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-extra 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).
