How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:9 libperf to version 0:5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf package and not the libperf 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:

clk: imx: clk-imxrt1050: fix memory leak in imxrt1050_clocks_probe

Use devm_of_iomap() instead of of_iomap() to automatically handle the unused ioremap region. If any error occurs, regions allocated by kzalloc() will leak, but using devm_kzalloc() instead will automatically free the memory using devm_kfree().

Also, fix error handling of hws by adding unregister_hws label, which unregisters remaining hws when iomap failed.
