CVE-2016-4565  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 kernel-debug to version 0:2.6.32-642.3.1.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug package and not the kernel-debug package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.
