How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 kernel-kdump to version 0:3.10.0-327.22.2.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.
