There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: rawmidi - fix the uninitalized user_pversion
The user_pversion was uninitialized for the user space file structure in the open function, because the file private structure use kmalloc for the allocation.
The kernel ALSA sequencer code clears the file structure, so no additional fixes are required.
