How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-64k-debug-core.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-core package and not the kernel-64k-debug-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()

Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64} produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.

For now don't care about rec->counter * rec->counter overflow because rec->time * rec->time overflow will likely happen earlier.
