How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:9 rv.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rv package and not the rv package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

acct: fix potential integer overflow in encode_comp_t()

The integer overflow is descripted with following codes: > 317 static comp_t encode_comp_t(u64 value) > 318 { > 319 int exp, rnd; ...... > 341 exp <<= MANTSIZE; > 342 exp += value; > 343 return exp; > 344 }

Currently comp_t is defined as type of '__u16', but the variable 'exp' is type of 'int', so overflow would happen when variable 'exp' in line 343 is greater than 65535.
