This issue was reported for rhel7 to us (which was not seen in rhel8
or later versions), but it also applies to kernel before this
('3d63b7e4ae0dc') patch or kernel without this patch.

Since this issue was reported to us, identified as a security flaw,
and was fixed in the upstream, we decided to assign a CVE.
