How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 guile.

NVD Description

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

The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected.
