How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:7 qemu-kvm to version 10:1.5.3-86.el7_1.5 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The pit_ioport_read in i8254.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33 and QEMU before 2.3.1 does not distinguish between read lengths and write lengths, which might allow guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by triggering use of an invalid index.
