How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 glibc-common to version 0:2.17-157.el7 or higher.

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.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the nss_dns implementation of the getnetbyname function in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.24 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a long name.
