How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 qemu-kvm-core.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qemu-kvm-core package and not the qemu-kvm-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

hw/ppc/spapr.c in QEMU through 3.1.0 allows Information Exposure because the hypervisor shares the /proc/device-tree/system-id and /proc/device-tree/model system attributes with a guest.
