How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:9 kernel-64k-modules-extra to version 0:5.14.0-362.8.1.el9_3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

af_unix: Fix a data-race in unix_dgram_peer_wake_me().

unix_dgram_poll() calls unix_dgram_peer_wake_me() without other's lock held and check if its receive queue is full. Here we need to use unix_recvq_full_lockless() instead of unix_recvq_full(), otherwise KCSAN will report a data-race.
