CVE-2014-8559 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Centos:7 kernel-rt-doc to version 0:3.10.0-229.20.1.rt56.141.14.el7_1 or higher.
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 d_walk function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly maintain the semantics of rename_lock, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang) via a crafted application.
