How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 apr.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apr package and not the apr package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

tables/apr_hash.c in the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library through 1.4.5 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table.
