There is no fixed version for Centos:7 procps-ng.

NVD Description

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

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in pgrep. This vulnerability is mitigated by FORTIFY, as it involves strncat() to a stack-allocated string. When pgrep is compiled with FORTIFY (as on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora), the impact is limited to a crash.
