There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-modules.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules package and not the kernel-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:
wifi: iwlwifi: Use request_module_nowait
This appears to work around a deadlock regression that came in with the LED merge in 6.9.
The deadlock happens on my system with 24 iwlwifi radios, so maybe it something like all worker threads are busy and some work that needs to complete cannot complete.
[also remove unnecessary "load_module" var and now-wrong comment]
