How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:8 containernetworking-plugins to version 0:0.8.3-4.module+el8.1.1+5259+bcdd613a or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream containernetworking-plugins package and not the containernetworking-plugins package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libslirp 4.1.0, as used in QEMU 4.2.0, tcp_subr.c misuses snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow in later code.
