How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 kernel-firmware.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-firmware package and not the kernel-firmware package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

drivers/infiniband/hw/cxgb3/iwch_cm.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 does not properly identify error conditions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via crafted packets.
