How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-modules-partner package and not the kernel-64k-debug-modules-partner 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:

net/sched: act_mirred: don't override retval if we already lost the skb

If we're redirecting the skb, and haven't called tcf_mirred_forward(), yet, we need to tell the core to drop the skb by setting the retcode to SHOT. If we have called tcf_mirred_forward(), however, the skb is out of our hands and returning SHOT will lead to UaF.

Move the retval override to the error path which actually need it.
