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.
In the Linux kernel before 5.15.3, fs/quota/quota_tree.c does not validate the block number in the quota tree (on disk). This can, for example, lead to a kernel/locking/rwsem.c use-after-free if there is a corrupted quota file.
