CVE-2016-10208 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Centos:7 kernel-doc to version 0:3.10.0-514.21.1.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 ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.9.8 does not properly validate meta block groups, which allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
