How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug-kvm package and not the kernel-rt-debug-kvm 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:

igc: Fix use-after-free error during reset

Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the TX ring.

Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igc_poll() runs while the controller is being reset this can lead to the driver try to free a skb that was already freed.
