There is no fixed version for Centos:6 uuidd.

NVD Description

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

Certain legacy functionality in fusermount in fuse 2.8.5 and earlier, when util-linux does not support the --no-canonicalize option, allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and unmount arbitrary directories via a symlink attack.
