How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 libxml2-python.

NVD Description

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

A flaw in libxml2 allows remote XML entity inclusion with default parser flags (i.e., when the caller did not request entity substitution, DTD validation, external DTD subset loading, or default DTD attributes). Depending on the context, this may expose a higher-risk attack surface in libxml2 not usually reachable with default parser flags, and expose content from local files, HTTP, or FTP servers (which might be otherwise unreachable).
