Upgrade Centos:7 pcre to version 0:8.32-14.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Heap-based buffer overflow in PCRE 8.36 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or have other unspecified impact via a crafted regular expression, related to an assertion that allows zero repeats.
