How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 cups-filters-devel to version 0:1.0.35-21.el7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cups-filters-devel package and not the cups-filters-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in filter/texttopdf.c in texttopdf in cups-filters before 1.0.71 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted line size in a print job, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
