How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 curl.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl package and not the curl package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The libcurl API function called curl_maprintf() before version 7.51.0 can be tricked into doing a double-free due to an unsafe size_t multiplication, on systems using 32 bit size_t variables.
