Memory Leak Affecting kernel-rt-modules-internal package, versions *
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.

See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio/vsock: Fix accept_queue memory leak
As the final stages of socket destruction may be delayed, it is possible that virtio_transport_recv_listen() will be called after the accept_queue has been flushed, but before the SOCK_DONE flag has been set. As a result, sockets enqueued after the flush would remain unremoved, leading to a memory leak.

Introduce a sk_shutdown check to disallow vsock_enqueue_accept() during socket destruction.
