How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 glibc-common to version 0:2.12-1.209.el6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the size argument to the __hcreate_r function, which triggers out-of-bounds heap-memory access.
