How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-rt-trace.

NVD Description

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

The sctp_init function in net/sctp/protocol.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.3 has an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic or memory corruption) by creating SCTP sockets before all of the steps have finished.
