How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 kernel-debug-devel to version 0:2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The dev_load function in net/core/dev.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.38 allows local users to bypass an intended CAP_SYS_MODULE capability requirement and load arbitrary modules by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability.
