There is no fixed version for Centos:9 kernel-zfcpdump-modules.

NVD Description

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

ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Possible null pointer dereference in cs35l41_hda_unbind()

The cs35l41_hda_unbind() function clears the hda_component entry matching it's index and then dereferences the codec pointer held in the first element of the hda_component array, this is an issue when the device index was 0.

Instead use the codec pointer stashed in the cs35l41_hda structure as it will still be valid.
