How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-cross-headers.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-cross-headers package and not the kernel-cross-headers 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:

iommu: Restore lost return in iommu_report_device_fault()

When iommu_report_device_fault gets called with a partial fault it is supposed to collect the fault into the group and then return.

Instead the return was accidently deleted which results in trying to process the fault and an eventual crash.

Deleting the return was a typo, put it back.
