CVE-2015-8984 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 glibc-common.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-common package and not the glibc-common package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The fnmatch function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.22 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed pattern, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
