There is no fixed version for Centos:7 snakeyaml-javadoc.

NVD Description

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

SnakeYaml's Constructor() class does not restrict types which can be instantiated during deserialization. Deserializing yaml content provided by an attacker can lead to remote code execution. We recommend using SnakeYaml's SafeConsturctor when parsing untrusted content to restrict deserialization. We recommend upgrading to version 2.0 and beyond.
