How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

mm,hugetlb: take hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages

The h->*_huge_pages counters are protected by the hugetlb_lock, but alloc_huge_page has a corner case where it can decrement the counter outside of the lock.

This could lead to a corrupted value of h->resv_huge_pages, which we have observed on our systems.

Take the hugetlb_lock before decrementing h->resv_huge_pages to avoid a potential race.
