CVE-2016-8618 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 libcurl.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcurl package and not the libcurl package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The libcurl API function called curl_maprintf() before version 7.51.0 can be tricked into doing a double-free due to an unsafe size_t multiplication, on systems using 32 bit size_t variables.
