How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-devel package and not the kernel-rt-devel 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/mlx5e: Take state lock during tx timeout reporter

mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels() requires the state lock taken. The referenced changed in the Fixes tag removed the lock to fix another issue. This patch adds it back but at a later point (when calling mlx5e_safe_reopen_channels()) to avoid the deadlock referenced in the Fixes tag.
