How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel-rt-trace to version 0:3.10.0-327.22.2.rt56.230.el7_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2016:1301.

NVD Description

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

The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.
