How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 kernel-abi-stablelists to version 0:4.18.0-348.el8 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-abi-stablelists package and not the kernel-abi-stablelists package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Linux kernel before 5.11.14 has a use-after-free in cipso_v4_genopt in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c because the CIPSO and CALIPSO refcounting for the DOI definitions is mishandled, aka CID-ad5d07f4a9cd. This leads to writing an arbitrary value.
