CentOS - Sep 2018 - CVE-2018-14634 and kernel-debuginfo ?

The current mitigation for CVE-2018-14634 is a systemtap script
mentioned here:

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-14634

It also mentions that one can build a kernel module to distribute
to other machines, but in any case one needs the corresponding
debuginfo packages to do either.

After enabling CentOS-Debug.repo, what I get is:

kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.centos.plus.x86_64

which doesn't match, since I'm not running the centos.plus kernel,
so the systemtap script fails (tested only on CentOS 6 for the moment).

Is there some way to get kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Zube

You can find it here:

http://debuginfo.centos.org/6/x86_64/

Because yum thinks the centos.plus version is newer, you'd need to
manually download and install it.

Thanks.  That was very helpful.

Worst case use the full name:

    yum install kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64
