How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel-rt to version 0:3.10.0-327.rt56.204.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2015:2411.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The prepend_path function in fs/dcache.c in the Linux kernel before 4.2.4 does not properly handle rename actions inside a bind mount, which allows local users to bypass an intended container protection mechanism by renaming a directory, related to a "double-chroot attack."
