How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 binutils-devel.

NVD Description

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

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, as demonstrated by _bfd_elf_parse_attributes in elf-attrs.c and bfd_malloc in libbfd.c. This can occur during execution of nm.
