There is no fixed version for Centos:9 kernel-selftests-internal.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-selftests-internal package and not the kernel-selftests-internal 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:

HID: betop: check shape of output reports

betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report fields. A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference in hid_betopff_play().
