How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-64k-devel-matched package and not the kernel-rt-64k-devel-matched 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:

pstore: ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails

In persistent_ram_vmap(), vmap() may return NULL on failure.

If offset is non-zero, adding offset_in_page(start) causes the function to return a non-NULL pointer even though the mapping failed. persistent_ram_buffer_map() therefore incorrectly returns success.

Subsequent access to prz->buffer may dereference an invalid address and cause crashes.

Add proper NULL checking for vmap() failures.
