How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:9 kernel-64k.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k package and not the kernel-64k package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

firmware: qcom: scm: Cleanup global '__scm' on probe failures

If SCM driver fails the probe, it should not leave global '__scm' variable assigned, because external users of this driver will assume the probe finished successfully. For example TZMEM parts ('__scm->mempool') are initialized later in the probe, but users of it (__scm_smc_call()) rely on the '__scm' variable.

This fixes theoretical NULL pointer exception, triggered via introducing probe deferral in SCM driver with call trace:
