How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

elflint.c in elfutils 0.168 does not validate the number of sections and the number of segments, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted ELF file.
