How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 libtasn1 to version 0:3.3-5.el7_0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtasn1 package and not the libtasn1 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The asn1_get_bit_der function in GNU Libtasn1 before 3.6 does not properly report an error when a negative bit length is identified, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause out-of-bounds access via crafted ASN.1 data.
