There is no fixed version for Centos:7 perf.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The kvm_apic_has_events function in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.h in the Linux kernel through 4.1.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging /dev/kvm access for an ioctl call.
