How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 file-libs to version 0:5.04-30.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

readelf.c in file before 5.22, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP before 5.4.37, 5.5.x before 5.5.21, and 5.6.x before 5.6.5, does not consider that pread calls sometimes read only a subset of the available data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.
