How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/ism: folio_put() after error

dmb->cpu_addr was allocated via folio_alloc(). Use folio_put() instead of kfree() in the error exit of ism_alloc_dmb() to avoid slab allocator corruption.

While at it, reset dmb->cpu_addr after folio_put to avoid unintentional UAF by future callers.
