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:

module: fix lost error code from codetag_load_module()

If codetag_load_module() fails, err is not set to reflect the failure and load_module() returns 0 after the module has been torn down.

Also, if the module is a livepatch, mod->klp_info allocated by copy_module_elf() leaks on this error path. Free it via a new livepatch_cleanup label.
