How to fix?

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

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-trace-kvm package and not the kernel-rt-trace-kvm 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:

Input: MT - limit max slots

syzbot is reporting too large allocation at input_mt_init_slots(), for num_slots is supplied from userspace using ioctl(UI_DEV_CREATE).

Since nobody knows possible max slots, this patch chose 1024.
