How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-uki-virt-addons.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uki-virt-addons package and not the kernel-uki-virt-addons 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:

nfp: flower: Fix a potential leak in nfp_tunnel_add_shared_mac()

ida_simple_get() returns an id between min (0) and max (NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX) inclusive. So NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX (0xff) is a valid id.

In order for the error handling path to work correctly, the 'invalid' value for 'ida_idx' should not be in the 0..NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX range, inclusive.

So set it to -1.
