How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 libxml2 to version 0:2.7.6-21.el6_8.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the xmlSAX2AttributeNs function in libxml2 before 2.9.4, as used in Apple iOS before 9.3.2 and OS X before 10.11.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted XML document.
