How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 sox.

NVD Description

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

In the startread function in xa.c in Sound eXchange (SoX) through 14.4.2, a corrupt header specifying zero channels triggers an infinite loop with a resultant NULL pointer dereference, which may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service.
