How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 bzip2-libs to version 0:1.0.5-7.el6_0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bzip2-libs package and not the bzip2-libs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the BZ2_decompress function in decompress.c in bzip2 and libbzip2 before 1.0.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted compressed file.
