How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 file to version 0:5.11-31.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The donote function in readelf.c in file through 5.20, as used in the Fileinfo component in PHP 5.4.34, does not ensure that sufficient note headers are present, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
