How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 pcre.

NVD Description

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

PCRE before 8.38 mishandles the interaction of lookbehind assertions and mutually recursive subpatterns, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted regular expression, as demonstrated by a JavaScript RegExp object encountered by Konqueror.
