How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 openssl-perl to version 0:1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

OpenSSL through 1.0.2h incorrectly uses pointer arithmetic for heap-buffer boundary checks, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging unexpected malloc behavior, related to s3_srvr.c, ssl_sess.c, and t1_lib.c.
