How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-rt-64k-modules-extra.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-64k-modules-extra package and not the kernel-rt-64k-modules-extra 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:

wifi: cfg80211: reject auth/assoc to AP with our address

If the AP uses our own address as its MLD address or BSSID, then clearly something's wrong. Reject such connections so we don't try and fail later.
