How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt 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/sched: act_ct: fix ref leak when switching zones

When switching zones or network namespaces without doing a ct clear in between, it is now leaking a reference to the old ct entry. That's because tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached() returns false and tcf_ct_flow_table_lookup() may simply overwrite it.

The fix is to, as the ct entry is not reusable, free it already at tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached().
