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:

KVM: x86: check for nEPT/nNPT in slow flush hypercalls

Checking is_guest_mode(vcpu) is incorrect, because translate_nested_gpa() is only valid if an L2 guest is running with nested EPT/NPT enabled. Instead use the same condition as translate_nested_gpa() itself.
