How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-tools-libs-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-libs-devel package and not the kernel-tools-libs-devel 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:

ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf

There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB completion callback and the rawmidi API access. This could be a cause of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by here).

This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a spinlock for avoiding the possible races.
