Improper Input Validation Affecting kernel-modules-core package, versions <0:5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2021-47428 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:9 kernel-modules-core to version 0:5.14.0-503.11.1.el9_5 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:9315.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-modules-core package and not the kernel-modules-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:
powerpc/64s: fix program check interrupt emergency stack path
Emergency stack path was jumping into a 3: label inside the __GEN_COMMON_BODY macro for the normal path after it had finished, rather than jumping over it. By a small miracle this is the correct place to build up a new interrupt frame with the existing stack pointer, so things basically worked okay with an added weird looking 700 trap frame on top (which had the wrong ->nip so it didn't decode bug messages either).
Fix this by avoiding using numeric labels when jumping over non-trivial macros.
