How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 nss.

NVD Description

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

Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) 3.x, with certain settings of the SSL_ENABLE_RENEGOTIATION option, does not properly restrict client-initiated renegotiation within the SSL and TLS protocols, which might make it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by performing many renegotiations within a single connection, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1473. NOTE: it can also be argued that it is the responsibility of server deployments, not a security library, to prevent or limit renegotiation when it is inappropriate within a specific environment
