There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf 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:
xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()
syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model().
The warning occurs only if __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It returns the error in two cases:
- memory allocation fails;
- rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params struct are not initialized properly.
The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params struct with valid fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a problem with memory allocation.
Thus, there is no sense in using WARN() to handle this error and it can be safely removed.
