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, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent possible UAF in ip6_xmit()
If skb_expand_head() returns NULL, skb has been freed and the associated dst/idev could also have been freed.
We must use rcu_read_lock() to prevent a possible UAF.
