How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 libtasn1.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtasn1 package and not the libtasn1 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The _asn1_extract_der_octet function in lib/decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 4.8, when used without the ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER flag, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted certificate.
