How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 kernel-doc to version 0:3.10.0-123.13.1.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The media_device_enum_entities function in drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.6 does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging /dev/media0 read access for a MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl call.
