How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 libxml2 to version 0:2.9.1-6.el7_2.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxml2 package and not the libxml2 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The xmlreader in libxml allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XML data, related to an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
