CVE-2022-49420 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-doc.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc 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:
net: annotate races around sk->sk_bound_dev_if
UDP sendmsg() is lockless, and reads sk->sk_bound_dev_if while this field can be changed by another thread.
Adds minimal annotations to avoid KCSAN splats for UDP. Following patches will add more annotations to potential lockless readers.

I chose to not add Fixes: tag because race has minor consequences and stable teams busy enough.
