There is no fixed version for Centos:8 kernel-tools-libs-devel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-libs-devel package and not the kernel-tools-libs-devel 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:
atm: iphase: fix possible use-after-free in ia_module_exit()
This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.
