How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-debug-modules-internal.

NVD Description

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

cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node

In the parse_perf_domain function, if the call to of_parse_phandle_with_args returns an error, then the reference to the CPU device node that was acquired at the start of the function would not be properly decremented.

Address this by declaring the variable with the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute.
