Upgrade Centos:7 openssh-clients to version 0:7.4p1-11.el7 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-clients package and not the openssh-clients package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
