How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf 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:

usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before

In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it. Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning caused by the tps6598x module removal:
