How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-trace-devel package and not the kernel-rt-trace-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The acpi_ds_create_operands() function in drivers/acpi/acpica/dsutils.c in the Linux kernel through 4.12.9 does not flush the operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR protection mechanism (in the kernel through 4.9) via a crafted ACPI table.
