How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:7 perl-DBD-MySQL.

NVD Description

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

The DBD::mysql module through 4.043 for Perl allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering (1) certain error responses from a MySQL server or (2) a loss of a network connection to a MySQL server. The use-after-free defect was introduced by relying on incorrect Oracle mysql_stmt_close documentation and code examples.
