There is no fixed version for Centos:7 m17n-lib-tools.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream m17n-lib-tools package and not the m17n-lib-tools package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in m17n-lib. An attacker who supplies crafted input to an application processing ISO-2022 encoded text can cause the library to read uninitialized memory from the stack. If the application exposes or returns the decoded output, this flaw can result in unexpected behavior and limited information disclosure.
