There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 kernel-zfcpdump-modules.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules 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:
powerpc64/bpf: Limit 'ldbrx' to processors compliant with ISA v2.06
Johan reported the below crash with test_bpf on ppc64 e5500:

Illegal instruction
The illegal instruction turned out to be 'ldbrx' emitted for BPF_FROM_[L|B]E, which was only introduced in ISA v2.06. Guard use of the same and implement an alternative approach for older processors.
