How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: dice: fix buffer overflow in detect_stream_formats()

The function detect_stream_formats() reads the stream_count value directly from a FireWire device without validating it. This can lead to out-of-bounds writes when a malicious device provides a stream_count value greater than MAX_STREAMS.

Fix by applying the same validation to both TX and RX stream counts in detect_stream_formats().
