Upgrade Centos:7 procps-ng to version 0:3.3.10-17.el7_5.2 or higher.
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 multiple integer overflows leading to a heap corruption in file2strvec function. This allows a privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which could result in crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities run by other users.
