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:

bpf: Add schedule points in batch ops

syzbot reported various soft lockups caused by bpf batch operations.

INFO: task kworker/1:1:27 blocked for more than 140 seconds. INFO: task hung in rcu_barrier

Nothing prevents batch ops to process huge amount of data, we need to add schedule points in them.

Note that maybe_wait_bpf_programs(map) calls from generic_map_delete_batch() can be factorized by moving the call after the loop.

This will be done later in -next tree once we get this fix merged, unless there is strong opinion doing this optimization sooner.
