How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-modules package and not the kernel-64k-debug-modules 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:

gpiolib: Fix crash on error in gpiochip_get_ngpios()

The gpiochip_get_ngpios() uses chip_*() macros to print messages. However these macros rely on gpiodev to be initialised and set, which is not the case when called via bgpio_init(). In such a case the printing messages will crash on NULL pointer dereference. Replace chip_*() macros by the respective dev_*() ones to avoid such crash.
