How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

io_uring/kbuf: reallocate buf lists on upgrade

IORING_REGISTER_PBUF_RING can reuse an old struct io_buffer_list if it was created for legacy selected buffer and has been emptied. It violates the requirement that most of the field should stay stable after publish. Always reallocate it instead.
