CVE-2015-8569 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The (1) pptp_bind and (2) pptp_connect functions in drivers/net/ppp/pptp.c in the Linux kernel through 4.3.3 do not verify an address length, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application.
