See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost_task: Handle SIGKILL by flushing work and exiting
Instead of lingering until the device is closed, this has us handle SIGKILL by:
- marking the worker as killed so we no longer try to use it with new virtqueues and new flush operations.
- setting the virtqueue to worker mapping so no new works are queued.
- running all the exiting works.
