The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:8.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-selftests-internal package and not the kernel-selftests-internal package as distributed by Centos.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem
Transferred 2D BO always must be a shmem BO. Add check for that to prevent NULL dereference if userspace passes a VRAM BO.
