How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 cpio.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cpio package and not the cpio package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The cpio_safer_name_suffix function in util.c in cpio 2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted cpio file.
