There is no fixed version for Centos:7 elfutils.

NVD Description

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

The handle_gnu_hash function in readelf.c in elfutils 0.168 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
