NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting kernel-doc package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating metadata map
Ensure the skb is available in metadata mapping to skbs before tracking the metadata index for detecting undelivered CQEs. If the metadata index is put in the tracking list before putting the skb in the map, the metadata index might be used for detecting undelivered CQEs before the relevant skb is available in the map, which can lead to a null-ptr-deref.
