How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 kernel-headers to version 0:3.10.0-229.14.1.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The bpf_int_jit_compile function in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c in the Linux kernel before 4.0.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by creating a packet filter and then loading crafted BPF instructions that trigger late convergence by the JIT compiler.
