How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 elfutils-default-yama-scope.

NVD Description

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

The check_group function in elflint.c in elfutils 0.168 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
