How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 bpftool.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sit: do not call ipip6_dev_free() from sit_init_net()

ipip6_dev_free is sit dev->priv_destructor, already called by register_netdevice() if something goes wrong.

Alternative would be to make ipip6_dev_free() robust against multiple invocations, but other drivers do not implement this strategy.
