CVE-2016-10044 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-rt-doc.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-doc package and not the kernel-rt-doc package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The aio_mount function in fs/aio.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7.7 does not properly restrict execute access, which makes it easier for local users to bypass intended SELinux W^X policy restrictions, and consequently gain privileges, via an io_setup system call.
