There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-core.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-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:
tracing/histogram: Fix a potential memory leak for kstrdup()
kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by kstrdup():
p = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL);
So it is better to free it via kfree(p).
