How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 qemu-guest-agent.

NVD Description

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

An infinite loop flaw was found in the USB xHCI controller emulation of QEMU while computing the length of the Transfer Request Block (TRB) Ring. This flaw allows a privileged guest user to hang the QEMU process on the host, resulting in a denial of service.
