How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-devel package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-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:

filemap: Fix bounds checking in filemap_read()

If the caller supplies an iocb->ki_pos value that is close to the filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes us to overflow that limit, then filemap_read() enters an infinite loop.

This behaviour was discovered when testing xfstests generic/525 with the "localio" optimisation for loopback NFS mounts.
