Upgrade Centos:7 python to version 0:2.7.5-76.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

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

python before versions 2.7.15, 3.4.9, 3.5.6rc1, 3.6.5rc1 and 3.7.0 is vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking in pop3lib's apop() method. An attacker could use this flaw to cause denial of service.
