CVE-2012-4542 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-devel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
block/scsi_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel through 3.8 does not properly consider the SCSI device class during authorization of SCSI commands, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via an SG_IO ioctl call that leverages overlapping opcodes.
