How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

The aiptek_probe function in drivers/input/tablet/aiptek.c in the Linux kernel before 4.4 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted USB device that lacks endpoints.
