How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-debug-modules.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-modules package and not the kernel-debug-modules 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:

mac80211: fix skb length check in ieee80211_scan_rx()

Replace hard-coded compile-time constants for header length check with dynamic determination based on the frame type. Otherwise, we hit a validation WARN_ON in cfg80211 later.
