How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 gitweb to version 0:1.8.3.1-6.el7_2.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

revision.c in git before 2.7.4 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) long filename or (2) many nested trees, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
