There is no fixed version for Centos:10 kernel-rt.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iomap: release pages on atomic dio size mismatch

If bio_iov_iter_get_pages() or the bounce helper succeeds but builds a short bio, the REQ_ATOMIC size check rejects it before submission. The old error path only dropped the bio reference, leaving any pages already attached to the bio unreleased.

Release or unbounce the pages before falling through to out_put_bio on this error path.
