How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-rt-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-devel package and not the kernel-rt-devel 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:

netlink: add nla be16/32 types to minlen array

BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nla_validate_range_unsigned lib/nlattr.c:222 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in nla_validate_int_range lib/nlattr.c:336 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in validate_nla lib/nlattr.c:575 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in __nla_validate_parse+0x2e20/0x45c0 lib/nlattr.c:631 nla_validate_range_unsigned lib/nlattr.c:222 [inline] nla_validate_int_range lib/nlattr.c:336 [inline] validate_nla lib/nlattr.c:575 [inline] ...

The message in question matches this policy:

[NFTA_TARGET_REV] = NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE32, 255),

but because NLA_BE32 size in minlen array is 0, the validation code will read past the malformed (too small) attribute.

Note: Other attributes, e.g. BITFIELD32, SINT, UINT.. are also missing: those likely should be added too.
