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

NVD Description

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

NFSv4: Fix a deadlock when recovering state on a sillyrenamed file

If the file is sillyrenamed, and slated for delete on close, it is possible for a server reboot to triggeer an open reclaim, with can again race with the application call to close(). When that happens, the call to put_nfs_open_context() can trigger a synchronous delegreturn call which deadlocks because it is not marked as privileged.

Instead, ensure that the call to nfs4_inode_return_delegation_on_close() catches the delegreturn, and schedules it asynchronously.
