How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-modules-extra-matched.

NVD Description

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

drm/gud: fix NULL fb and crtc dereferences on USB disconnect

On disconnect drm_atomic_helper_disable_all() is called which sets both the fb and crtc for a plane to NULL before invoking a commit.

This causes a kernel oops on every display disconnect.

Add guards for those dereferences.
