How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 openssl-libs to version 1:1.0.1e-34.el7_0.7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The ssl3_get_cert_verify function in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 1.0.0 before 1.0.0p and 1.0.1 before 1.0.1k accepts client authentication with a Diffie-Hellman (DH) certificate without requiring a CertificateVerify message, which allows remote attackers to obtain access without knowledge of a private key via crafted TLS Handshake Protocol traffic to a server that recognizes a Certification Authority with DH support.
