Upgrade Centos:7 pcre to version 0:8.32-15.el7_2.1 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 the find_fixedlength function in pcre_compile.c in PCRE before 8.38 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or obtain sensitive information from heap memory and possibly bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted regular expression with an excess closing parenthesis.
