How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 procps.

NVD Description

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

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation in top. If a user runs top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could achieve privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the config_file() function.
