There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-abi-whitelists.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-abi-whitelists package and not the kernel-abi-whitelists package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

NTB: fix possible name leak in ntb_register_device()

If device_register() fails in ntb_register_device(), the device name allocated by dev_set_name() should be freed. As per the comment in device_register(), callers should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device() in the error path so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().

As a result of this, put_device() in the error path of ntb_register_device() is removed and the actual error is returned.
