Improper Input Validation Affecting kernel-64k-modules-internal package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

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

See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: j1939: fix errant WARN_ON_ONCE in j1939_session_deactivate
The conclusion "j1939_session_deactivate() should be called with a session ref-count of at least 2" is incorrect. In some concurrent scenarios, j1939_session_deactivate can be called with the session ref-count less than 2. But there is not any problem because it will check the session active state before session putting in j1939_session_deactivate_locked().
Here is the concurrent scenario of the problem reported by syzbot and my reproduction log.
