CVE-2021-47579 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-rt-debug.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-debug package and not the kernel-rt-debug 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:
ovl: fix warning in ovl_create_real()
Syzbot triggered the following warning in ovl_workdir_create() -> ovl_create_real():
if (!err && WARN_ON(!newdentry->d_inode)) {
The reason is that the cgroup2 filesystem returns from mkdir without instantiating the new dentry.
Weird filesystems such as this will be rejected by overlayfs at a later stage during setup, but to prevent such a warning, call ovl_mkdir_real() directly from ovl_workdir_create() and reject this case early.
