There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-tools-libs.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-libs package and not the kernel-tools-libs 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:
nfsd: initialise nfsd_info.mutex early.
nfsd_info.mutex can be dereferenced by svc_pool_stats_start() immediately after the new netns is created. Currently this can trigger an oops.
Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced.
