How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 elfutils-libelf.

NVD Description

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

The allocate_elf function in common.h in elfutils before 0.168 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted ELF file, which triggers a memory allocation failure.
