There is no fixed version for Centos:8 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vrr: Set VRR capable prop only if it is attached to connector
VRR capable property is not attached by default to the connector It is attached only if VRR is supported. So if the driver tries to call drm core set prop function without it being attached that causes NULL dereference.
