There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 kernel-bootwrapper.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-bootwrapper package and not the kernel-bootwrapper 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:

net: tun: call napi_schedule_prep() to ensure we own a napi

A recent patch exposed another issue in napi_get_frags() caught by syzbot [1]

Before feeding packets to GRO, and calling napi_complete() we must first grab NAPI_STATE_SCHED.
