How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 libstdc++-docs.

NVD Description

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

The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to predict the random values via unspecified vectors.
