CVE-2021-3753 Open this link in a new tabHow 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.
A race problem was seen in the vt_k_ioctl in drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c in the Linux kernel, which may cause an out of bounds read in vt as the write access to vc_mode is not protected by lock-in vt_ioctl (KDSETMDE). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
