How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules-internal package and not the kernel-modules-internal 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: Clear buf on error in __bpf_get_task_stack

Both bpf_get_task_stack and bpf_get_task_stack_sleepable helpers that use __bpf_get_task_stack have buf defined as ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM argument and we should initialize the buf on every return path.

Adding missing buf memset for __bpf_get_task_stack fail paths. This provides deterministic buffer contents, which is useful when the buffer is used directly as a map key.
