Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

Recommended fix
High confidence
Upgrade to kernel 5.10.108+ (5.10 branch), 5.15.31+ (5.15 LTS branch), or 5.16.17+ (5.16 branch) - choose the appropriate branch currently used in your distribution
- Identify the current running kernel version using `uname -r`
- Check if the kernel version falls within the affected ranges: 5.10.x (< 5.10.108), 5.11.x through 5.15.x (< 5.15.31), or 5.16.x (< 5.16.17)
- Upgrade the Linux kernel to a patched version: for 5.10.x upgrade to >= 5.10.108, for 5.11-5.15.x upgrade to >= 5.15.31, or for 5.16.x upgrade to >= 5.16.17
- Reboot the system to load the patched kernel
- Verify the fix is applied by checking the kernel version and confirming the mpt3sas driver loads without page fault errors
Caveat Kernel upgrade may require matching distribution-specific kernel packages; ensure distribution vendor stable updates are applied
