There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-rt.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fat: fix uninitialized field in nostale filehandles
When fat_encode_fh_nostale() encodes file handle without a parent it stores only first 10 bytes of the file handle. However the length of the file handle must be a multiple of 4 so the file handle is actually 12 bytes long and the last two bytes remain uninitialized. This is not great at we potentially leak uninitialized information with the handle to userspace. Properly initialize the full handle length.
