How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 python3-perf.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-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:

cpufreq: scmi: Fix null-ptr-deref in scmi_cpufreq_get_rate()

cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() can return NULL when the target CPU is not present in the policy->cpus mask. scmi_cpufreq_get_rate() does not check for this case, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() to prevent this issue.
