How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 mariadb to version 1:5.5.44-1.el7_1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Oracle MySQL before 5.7.3, Oracle MySQL Connector/C (aka libmysqlclient) before 6.1.3, and MariaDB before 5.5.44 use the --ssl option to mean that SSL is optional, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a cleartext-downgrade attack, aka a "BACKRONYM" attack.
