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.

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in the xmlDictComputeFastKey function in dict.c. This vulnerability causes programs that use libxml2, such as PHP, to crash. This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for libxml2 Bug 759398.
